The server will always place "filmscanners" at the beginning of the
Subject line when a user posts to the list (even if the entire Subject
line is deleted before replying). If a user *replies* to a previous post
without deleting the subject line, the server will begin the Subject
line with "RE:filmscanners". This should not prevent sorting by subject,
however, since the rest of the "Subject" line may be different.

Correct. This was repeatedly asked for by some people who wanted to sort
their
mail by subject.

Quite right. In fact you can also remove the 'RE:filmscanners:' bit from
replies. Whether or not the server will promptly put it back I dunno,
but
doubtless there will be howls of protest from folk using the subject
line to
sort their OT mail ;)
