Thanks to all those who replied.  The results were: 9 in favour of
adding a '[haskell]' prefix, and 15 against.  So I won't make any
changes this time.

For those who were in favour of adding the prefix, the preferred
solution is to have your mail reader automatically sort Haskell mail
into a separate folder.  There are plenty of useful headers in the
messages from haskell.org which make it possible to do just that - eg.
List-Id is a good one.

Cheers,
