I know I had spoken in favor of these prefixes before, but I discovered
that I find them annoying. I often stash message id's for pasting them
to git-send-email's --in-reply-to option and I always have to manually
remove the id: prefix.
So if you are still interested in getting rid of it, go for it :-)
