The mailing list software can't do that. It already does a best effort at
this, it tries quite hard to surpress multiple entries. (Leading to cascaded
Re:'s since the MUA doesn't ignore the [lvs-users] prefix when replying and
thus doesn't merge the "Re:"s)
It does open a can of worms to have the mailing list software mess with the
subject header.
I told you it wasn't going to be nice ;)
Anyone opposed if I turn it off again?
(BTW, threading shouldn't be affected by the subject - "mutt", for example,
threads by the "In-Reply-To" header, which is much more robust)

I can mess with the Reply-To header, but that will lead to all replies
intended to be private to end up on the list too.
A proper MUA like mutt supports a "list reply" function to reply directly to
the list, or a "g" reply to reply to all parties and then just strip off the
ones you don't want to send to...
