You are wrong :)

mailman has per-list options, one of which is:

"Prefix for subject line of list postings"

Details:

subject_prefix (general): Prefix for subject line of list postings.

This text will be prepended to subject lines of messages posted to the list, to distinguish mailing list messages in in mailbox summaries. Brevity is premium here, it's ok to shorten long mailing list names to something more concise, as long as it still identifies the mailing list.



So, it would not affecxt other mailing lists
