On many (I started to say "normal", but decided I was making assumptions
about what was normal. :) ) systems, I bet it doesn't.  However...I can
relate an experience I had recently that may shed some light:

I'm on a list that I'm way behind on reading.  I thought to myself "how
about I synchronize my Palm with that folder, instead of the "inbox", so
I can have all that mail on my palm to read, whereever I may be?".
Unfortunately, the list's [name] tag in the subject header made it
impossible to read messages selectively by subject...because on the palm
display, the only part of the subject that displayed was the [name] tag,
or sometimes not even the whole thing. :)

I think I'll go see if the list-processor supports configuring this on a
"by user" basis. Both on this list, and possibly on that list.

Hmm...That, and perhaps look for a different "mail client" for my palm.
Hopefully it'll be free. :)
