I was wrong. If they're using the same Mailman software as the lists I run (which the headers indicate they are) there is a setting in General options

so all they have to do is change that setting to something, thus messing up most of our email filters but allowing us to see the whole subject line.

Now there's an issue which is guranteed to annoy half the list, whatever they choose...but it can be (easily) done at their end.

over to the Missing Sync people to decide on this...
