No, this is a no no. Please read the following:

For replies to the ml use the reply-to-ml feature of your mailer. If
your mailer doesn't support this, open e bug.

This only waste space in the subject header. Mails from the ml already
have a List-ID heaer inside. You can use this one to filter your
mails.

Sorry, but I disagree. Which etiquette you refer to?
