Hi!  The header in itself wouldn’t have any effect: it’s up to
recipients to configure their email client to filter messages as they
see fit.  So in that sense it’d be less intrusive.

Mumi could also display a tag based on this and let people select only
issues relevant to a specific team.  That would be an improvement over
what we have.

Thoughts?
