BFAV email prefix?

Hello,

I've been creating multiple folders/mailboxes for my Squeak list 
reading. That way I can keep up better with current conversations.

I have one for each [ENH] OR [GOODIE], [BUG] OR [FIX], and squeak-dev 
(for all else).

I am seeing    < I'm a bug-fixing machine! >    messages with [ENH], 
[FIX], [BUG][FIX] as Subject prefixes.

Would it be unreasonable to have the BFAV prefix its messages with a 
[BFAV] or [BFAVg] (g=generated) Subject prefix or some such for its 
generated messages?

This way I could easily filter them into their own mailbox without 
resorting to filtering body text which consumes more time.

I think either a seperate list or Subject prefixes for any automatically 
generated emails would help all of us keep up with maintaining our 
particular squeak-dev usage patterns. Somewhat similar to cvs commit 
mailing lists.

I think a seperate list and prefixes would be nice, but not required.
If a seperate list followup/replies could be set to squeak-dev.

Just some thoughts for discussion.
