That's why I vote for no prepending.

I am on some lists that do this, and long discussions (like this list is
notorious for) end up quickly becoming nothing more than a subject line
of "Re: [cc]" repeated over and over.

And no, a smart list server that can handle tags (and thus not insert
them on messages that already have them, or insert them after the Re:)
doesn't always help. Some mail clients/services munge them. And all it
takes is one person in the discussion with an effected client, and the
whole thing gets thrown out of whack.
