What is it exactly that annoys you? I guess similar to me: I classify mail in boxes, so [Foobar] in mailbox Foobar only wastes space. But as Sven said, there is procmail, supposing it is avaliable for your system, installed and you are allowed to run it (sometimes it is not avaliable for your OS or the admin is not nice). Or a similar system based based on mail app features (I dunno the situation of, ie, Pegasus or Outlook, sorry). This is a valid example (I know there is a better way with one rule as header filter, and then use another rule to deliver): # Remove [] and deliver to gimp-devel box in one pass :0 * ^X-BeenThere: gimp-developer | /bin/sed -e '/^Subject: /s/\[Gimp-developer\] //g' >> gimp-devel-list On the other hand, it would be nice to have a switch in the mail server config so users can choose it, like some lists that allow digest mode.
