(Proper handling of the subject line prefix was one of the first things i did - i'm pretty sure it was before 1.0b3, maybe 1.0b1. If i recall correctly, i implemented a slightly more stringent strategy, only looking for the prefix early on in the subject line, after "re:"'s, but before other text. I know it takes care of the vast majority of cases, and i suspect it's preferable more of the time in offbeat cases than looking for the prefix anywhere in the subject line, but i may be wrong. I didn't see the original post - still sorting out environment and email - so i'm not sure about the specific case being discussed...)

Chris, you might want to send your patches to mailman-developers@python.org
Well, these patches were for a very old Mailman. I don't know wether they still apply. But the idea is simple. Only prepend the prefix if you cannot string.find it.
