I have received a number of responses to the change in Web4Lib that now
precedes the message subject with "[WEB4LIB:xxxxx]", where "xxxxx" is the
sequential number of that message. In typical style, some of the email
I've received has expressed appreciation with the change, while some has
expressed dismay.

That is exactly the nature of the problem -- there are good effects of
such a change for some people and bad for others. Therefore, I am left to
decide which is better in the long run for the greatest number of people.
So at this point my decision is to remain with the way things currently
are. If you think you have a compelling reason to change (and no, your
convenience is not sufficient reason, since others will find it less
convenient), then please let me know. As always, thank you for your
patience and understanding.
