I completely remove the prefix for python-list at python.org, but for
most other lists I keep the prefix.  Personally I prefer them, but for 
my filtering software, it really is redundant information.

Bounce detection is pretty ad-hoc right now, being composed of gobs of 
crufty regexps.  At some point we should bring sanity to this part of
the system.  For now, I'm just trying to collect bounces that don't
get recognized.  If possible, submit a bug report and include the
entire bounce.
