I would suggest that instead of putting OT: people just put OT without the
colon, as some news readers strip anything before the colon when replying.
So the "OT" would not show up in some replies, and would make it through to
anyone who was filtering it.

Which newsreader does this?
It would appear that Suzanne's Microsoft Windows Mail does it. Being
primarily an email application that happens to have NNTP functionality
added on there's sense to it. In email chains the " " on the front
used to build longer and longer so they took up trimming out up to the
last ": " (ignoring the rest to account for Re, re, fwd and many other
variations) and replacing it all with their own " ". I would not be
surprised if Thunderbird also did the same thing as it is also an email
application that happens to have NNTP functionality added on.
Google groups was also famous for doing the same thing for years.
