The [COLUG] tag in the subject is something I'd like
to see return, too.  Since I haven't done much to
contribute towards management of the group hitherto, I
probably don't have much right to whine about this, so
take or ignore my comments as you see fit.

The answer to questions about the [COLUG] tag seem to
be "find another way to filter COLUG messages." 
Usually this answer is accompanied by friendly advice
on what/how to filter, but that's the gist of it.  I'm
not sure whether the folks in charge of the list have
decided to go with the current config, but it seems
that may be the case.

In my (probably incorrect) opinion, an IT system that
provides output (mailing list, mainframe program, you
name it) should not arbitrarily change its output and
expect downstream systems to conform to the new
system.

Besides...I've gotten used to visually picking COLUG
messages out of the clutter in my mailbox.
