This is exactly how eGroups/Yahoo Groups does it, as long as the [ar] is in the subject line somewhere it won't pre-pend it again, so I assume it's ok. I'm not sure how it will turn out in the archive.

Check out this Slashdot article... might be of interest here. The link is currently suffering from the slashdot effect.

Source Code To Dungeon Master Java Released

"This is an update to a story you reported on about two years ago. There were many requests for Alandale to release the source code ( http://www.cs.pitt.edu/~alandale/dmjava/index.html ) to Dungeon Master Java and now he has released the source code on the Dungeon Master Java site. Dungeon Master was an all time classic RPG game first released in 1987 that made monumentous improvements in user interface design in gaming, and many other improvements. If you read the slashdot comments on the last article, there are a few good posts on what the game changed for the industry and its lasting legacy." I loved Dungeon Master.
