    Shorten it or don't change it.... just don't remove it altogether. I
    am on several mailing lists and while I do filter things into different
    folders, it has always been easier if the subject contains a constant
    such as [Full-Disclosure]. I wouldn't say that it is strictly
    necessary, but it is easier when I am sorting through mail that has yet
    to be filtered.

    Just my two cents....
