Seeing [ANN] in the subject is nice. I used to use a script to try and collect 
the announcements automatically for me so I could put them in the RWN. 
However I noticed that it missed the occassional announcement so now I don't 
bother and parse all mail manually. It takes longer to compose the RWN now, 
but I think it is more complete, that is, unless everyone would [ANN] their 
announcements :)
