Well, these patches were for a very old Mailman. I don't know
wether they still apply. But the idea is simple. Only prepend
the prefix if you cannot string.find it.

From maillist.py (V0.95):

        # Prepend the subject_prefix to the subject line.
        subj = msg.getheader('subject')
        prefix = self.subject_prefix
        if prefix:
            prefix = prefix + ' '
        if not subj:
            msg.SetHeader('Subject', '%s(no subject)' % prefix)
        else:
#CT begin
            #CT adding only if not already present
            if string.find(subj, prefix) < 0:
                msg.SetHeader('Subject', '%s%s' % (prefix, subj))
#CT end

        dont_send_to_sender = 0
        ack_post = 0
