So what happen if I had this promail recipe and I reply to list?

If the subject line is "Dovecot Mailing List", will it become "Re:  
Dovecot Mailing List" or "Re: [Dovecot] Mailing List"?  (I think it's  
the latter case)

If it's the latter one, I vote to keep the prefix now.

The prefix helps visual eye filtering, works for people (including me)  
who keep all new email to inbox rather than direct them to other  
folder before reading them.

I vote to keep the prefix even it's the first scenario, but I'm not  
strong into must keep prefix in both cases.
