I forgot that we had put this up earlier this year, with some recent refreshing done: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/MailinglistGuidelines/ http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/MailinglistGuidelines/SubjectLineJunk However, dudes like Patrick and me do not have the power to enforce such guidelines. The place to start for the [Subject-line-junk] is actually up at Red Hat IS. Someone such as Max needs to open a ticket in the helpdesk system and ask them to do this: * On the mailing list request page, specify that the subject is not going to be full of junk * When creating new lists, choose to leave the field empty that puts the junk in Most lists have the junk in the Subject because it was put there in the first place. Why they leave it is a mystery to me. However, there are people who like that [stuff] in their subject, such as people who let all email fall into a single Inbox and use visual filtering (*cough*Greg*cough*). But I argue that removing the [junk] does the greatest good for the larger number of people. As for Reply-to munging. Well, it's evil stuff, but there are equally smart people on both sides of that debate. Even where I am in charge (f-docs-l), I left the historical munging on because people have come to expect the behavior on the list. *sigh* - Karsten -- Karsten Wade, RHCE, 108 Editor ^ Fedora Documentation Project Sr. Developer Relations Mgr. | fedoraproject.org/wiki/DocsProject quaid.108.redhat.com | gpg key: AD0E0C41 ////////////////////////////////// \\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\
