Just hippothesizing, but it might be that the adding of '[ANNOUNCEMENT]' 
to the subject isn't actually Nabble's fault.  After all, there's one 
other situation where this happens: cygwin-announce messages get 
forwarded to the main cygwin list, with a mangled Subject: header.
Could it be that the script that does the mangling is somehow triggered 
for messages coming from Nabble as well?

Still think it's a good idea to ban Nabble, though, 'cause they're 
indeed mostly garbage.
