[Mail List] Subject Line Identifier

Hi Nabble,

I run the support forum for a plain text email client nPOPuk at:
http://npopuk-forum.986084.n3.nabble.com/

Obviously, we have users that subscribe to a number of the various sub-forums, such as those wanting New Release information (an announcement area) and User Support (a discussion area). In particular, the developers team have just moved from using a YahooGroup to the hidden "Developers" sub-forum and are complaining that it is very difficult to use as it is impossible to distinguish from the message headers to which sub-forum a message has been posted. (Even in the body of the message the only indication of the sub-forum used is found in the footer - and is frequently invisible without scrolling several screens down a message.)

As a result there are topics that ought to be restricted to the developers group that are appearing in the open "User Support" archive.

Please, can you add a feature that will allow either a [subject line tag] to appear in subscribed mail or some other mechanism, such as an appropriate header line, that a mail client can use to identify an individual sub-forum and use to filter messages into an appropriate folder in their mail client.

One of  our number has posted the link:
http://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-koch-subject-tags-considered-00
that may be relevant to this issue.

I am sure this will be of great benefit to all those using Nabble as a mail list archive, particularly where there are multiple related mail lists.
