Jerome Fine replies:

I agree with the original request and I agree with Zane. Perhaps a compromise like:
subject_prefix = [CCmp] would do the job and still be just as identifiable. Even
then, if we take a little bit of extra time (about 10 seconds - much longer than it takes
me to type even this stuff in parenthesis), the original [CCmp] can be deleted. I don't
know if the list software can also search for the presence of any imbedded [CCmp]
strings and eliminate those as well automatically.

Otherwise, I do prefer the prefix. Sorry Zane!

Sincerely yours,

Jerome Fine
