[seam-dev] seamframework.org changes

[Shane Bryzak]

Oops, I also forgot to add that I changed the subject line for the forum 
mailing list to include the forum name also.  So now, instead of the 
subject appearing like this:

Re: [seam-forums] Some forum topic

it will appear like this:

Re: [seam-forums] [Seam Users] Some forum topic

Hopefully no-one has any objections to this change - I figured it would 
be useful for people who might like more fine-grained control over their 
mail filters.
