I think this is what the list administrator needs to do. This comes from
the help file at rootsweb:
Customize Settings:
Add a Prepend to Subject Lines
A prepend is like a prefix that appears at the beginning of every subject
line. Some researchers find prepends helpful when filtering mail or to
quickly scan the subject lines, as it easily identifies which messages came
from the list.
The downside is that those receiving digest mode will have a sizeable amount
of their subject line devoted to the prepend.
You decide what the prepend will be. Most administrators choose to use the
list name, or an abbreviated version of it. You will want to be careful that
you don't use the same prepend another list may be using. Listen to your
subscribers; they will generally let you know if your prepend duplicates
another list with the same topic.
Examples of a Prepend:
a.. Subject line without prepend:
Looking for John Smith, 1891-1940
b.. Subject line with a prepend of xxxxxxxx:
[xxxxxxxx] Looking for John Smith, 1891-1940
c.. Digest index with the same prepend:
[xxxxxxxx] Looking for John
The mailing list program will add the boxed brackets, do not enter them as
part of the prepend.
If you do not want to use this option, leave this section blank.

Subject: INJACKSO-L Headers on Messages
About every few months or so this subject comes up, and a bunch of
us
always beg and plead passionately for the INJACKSO-L listmaster to fix
this. All ths other Rootsweb lists I subscribe to provide this feature,
and it really does help manage the spam. However, our pleas have always
fallen on deaf ears. Frankly, I don't think the person in charge of this
list wants to be bothered to figure out how to make this change. I have
yet to hear anyone explain why it hasn't been done! So you have to
either learn to put up with this major inconvenience (as I have) or else
just drop out -- like so many others already have because of this super
annoying problem.
Sorry!
Dan
