One's detesting is another man's love. I absolutely love having the subject line prefix, as do virtually all of my mailing list owners. I also vote for having an option to "fix" the dates, also. Its a headache when emailers don't have their date set properly.

That's true. In fact, they're equally property of the author(s) (in the wording of RFC 822 and reaffirmed by 2822), and I detest mailing lists that insist on munging the Subject header, too. Even this one. If an MUA can't do the right thing based on the List-* headers, I want no part of it, not even to share a mailing list with it.
Subject munging pre-dates RFC 2369, and today I think it's mostly a hold over. It also causes headaches with RFC 2047. Fortunately, you can turn this off in Mailman.
