But you can also filter mails based on the To: header
"To: unicode@unicode.org" - every mail client I've seen that supports filtering lets you filter based on that header.

(The Subject: line of this message demonstrates just what Gaute was talking about.)

Appending [unicode] does allow people to sort out messages from the list by sorting on Subject: which might be an advantage to subscribers with mail clients that can't filter mail - though I suspect there are very few (if any) subscribers to this list using mail clients which are that primitive.
