I understand your point, but we are talking about people who do already 
have at least one monitor - and internet access - aren't we?

You've lost me on this point.  I've never had to configure/change 
configuration or any such thing to accommodate the many lists that do 
add the name tag.

I can tolerate the list as is, because most of my other lists are tagged 
and I just assume that anything that doesn't make sense is 
fedora-related.  I'm just surprised that anyone likes it that way. 
Wouldn't imap client operations have to be configured exactly the same 
on every client (assuming they support the same operations) or you'd 
have to be very careful which one hits the mailbox first?
