Same here.

Filtering is possible (and probably more robust) on the email headers,
so the [Ambassadors] tag in the subject is completely redundant.

Now for the proposed [EMEA] and co. tags, things are much different,
since those are additional informations provided by humans, that can't
be provided otherwise (the mailing-list software can't add email headers
for those since it has no way to know that the email only concerns EMEA
or NA or... folks).
