I agree. Adding these extra headers is something that I didn't know about but is certainly helpful for filtering stuff out in emails. That will be much better than having it in the subject line.

I agree

    Add X-Mahara- headers to forum emails (Bug #882891)

    Forum email subjects are unwieldy so move forum name and group name to
    custom headers so users can filter as well as have a more concise
    subject line. Values in headers trimmed to 100 char based on information
    at http://stackoverflow.com/questions/2721605/maximum-size-of-email-x-headers
