I'd like to, but the Vanagon mailing list does really unfortunate things
to subject lines.  If the line is longer than 70 characters or so, it
inserts lots of spaces to make things pretty.  My ISP considers subject
lines with lots of spaces a hallmark of SPAM, and won't let me reply to
those messages until I trim them out.
