I don't recall any, other than plain refusal to use a dedicated folder,
rather than dumping it all into the Inbox...

Anyway, here's a procmail recipe to *remove* the unnecessary Subject
tagging. Enjoy!

:0
* ^List-Post: <mailto:dovecot at dovecot.org>
{
  :0 fw
  | sed "1,/^$/ { /^Subject:/ s/\[Dovecot\] // }"

  :0 :
  DELIVERY_LOCATION_GOES_HERE
}

Caveat: Copy-n-paste, modified from a more complex recipe handling
multiple lists. Not tested. Use on your own risk. ;)
