I do not sort EMail at all (my MUA does not support sorting). subject_prefix _obviates_ sorting. MUAs typically display the inbox with (status,sender,subject,received-time). With subject_prefix I can quite easily tell apart discussions from several IETF mailing lists, and it works with _every_ MUA with default settings. -Martin _______________________________________________ Ietf mailing list Ietf@xxxxxxxx https://www.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/ietf
