I must admit I don't like "m-".   It is not mnemonic enough for me,  
the way 'mf' is.

Yeah, let's avoid non-ASCII characters in the header. ;-)  If 'mf' is  
too awkward, I'd certainly be happy with:

[uf-discuss]
[uf-announce]
[uf-rest]

I'd have to Greekify it in my head, but I could learn to live with  
that...
