Sure. Makes sense to me.

The end user desire was filtering at the local mail client.
We send emails from :
$conf['mailfrom'] = '"@NAME@" <@USER@@'.parse_url(DOKU_URL,PHP_URL_HOST).'>';
to allow people to easily see in their mail client who did the change. Most
people have these emails as "real", so that you can reply to them, and it
works, without exposing people's real email address. (privacy issues and
such).
Filtering on Subjects is difficult since most users that I talked to wanted
the main diff to go to a wiki folder, but any discussion not to (so they
don't miss discussion on email about a change to a page).
So - we added a keyword, which only is set by the originating email...
