[Adium-devl] No more subject line mangling for Adium-devl

[Eric Richie]

I guess I'm not sure why the tag needs to go in the first place.  It was
said that we should do so to help the pidgin guys follow along?  This seems
silly.  We subscribe to their list so that we can follow along with their
development, so why don't we simply ask them to do the same for us?  I know
that they have had some VERY long arguments... err "discussions" about how
much they hate the tag on the subject line but if it works for us we should
keep using it.  It seems just as easy for them to sign up as it is for us to
do so for them.  As it is, a large portion of the discussion on their list
doesn't affect us and vice versa so isn't it all just relative?  I'd
personally rather see the tag stay as it's useful to be able to instantly
see which of my messages are from adium with no filtering needed.
