I don't think it is a bug, and I understand the situation on some mail
readers.  But ruby-core articles are referred as [ruby-core:1234] so
often in the development documentations e.g. ChangeLog, we thought it
is important to mention it VERY clearly.  That's compromise.  We have
no plan to change ruby-talk subject which is less referred from
ChangeLog.

It requires a hack to our list server software, which UNFORTUNATELY
written in Perl.  I am not sure if it is ever possible for me.
