So, filter them out if you don't want to see them.  I utterly fail to
understand why this is even an issue when a solution for your needs has
been repeatedly mentioned.

A procmail recipe like:

:0:
* ^Subject.*\[OT\]
/dev/null

will do exactly what you want.  I agree with Shad - it would a shame to
unsub simply due to a few OT discussions from time to time.

Cheers!
