I've seen gnus users complain about lists that put extra baloney in
the subject line... to id the group, and agree it is poor practice.

So I wonder why gnus seems so excessive about what it puts in a
forwarded mail subject line?  Wonder too if it is a good default.

I'd like to know how to shut it off, and just insert `Fwd:'

An example would be if I was to formard a recent message from ShengHuo
somewhere, it would insert his whole email address into the subject
line and inside the message body would include all headers, including
the From line that gets inserted into subject.

Subject: [ShengHuo ZHU <zsh@cs.rochester.edu>] Re: compilation error

This seem quite excessive to me.  The insertion nearly obliterates the
subject line.  Whats wrong with a simple `Fwd:'?
