Then let your MUA strip the tag off for you and live a happier life.

They are very valuable when you need to quickly check things from a
computer where you don't have set up your filtering for instance.  Plus
they are indispensable for everyone who decides to not filter mail into
folders or anything like that.  They don't force you to not filter, so
why should you force them to change their workflow?

This header is there for software to see, not for humans.  There is
multiple redundancy in both the headers and the tagging of the subject
line and this is what makes things resilient.  And yes, I read the list
via Gmane/GNUS, but that doesn't mean everyone has to do it the same
way.
