Subscribing to mailinglist and reading the mail with wap phone
seem quite awkward to me anyway :)

Adding a code to subject line is a good idea but in practise
it wont work. I've seen lists trying to do it never succeeding.
It usually only leads to unnecessary threads about "hey you
didnt use the word foo in your subject line".
I dont feel this under 500 mails per months is too critical
yet. There allready was an idea when KEITAI-L was born to have
two different lists for technical and non-technical issues.
It might be necessary later, maybe when the traffic starts
to reach 1000 messages per month. Maybe earlier if you (the
readers) feel that way.
What everyone should do though is to try to avoid unnecessary
oneliners (there arent too many, we seem to have seasoned
netizens subscribing the list :) and to avoid unecessary
quoting.
