Nope. No [tdf-discuss] in the raw view when reading in a newsreader.

What has gmail got to do with it?

Gmane is a service to make mailing lists available through a NNTP News Server instead of as 
emails. It also provides an archive service. It is not an email client.

Having the name of the list in the subject is redundant in a newsgroup. Each group (list) is 
subscribed to separately and is receive by your newreader in a separate group. No filtering to 
separate lists required. In contrast all emails would be put in your inbox unless you filter 
them into individual folders.

None of the OOo lists I receive through Gmane have the list name in the subject even though the 
email versions do.
