Lets look at the [photoforum] tag issue from various points of view. 1. Someone uses a system that doesn't support filters and mailboxes, i.e AOL. Having the [Photoforum] tag there doesn't hurt those with filters and those without can easily pick out their messages from the spam. 2. Someine uses a nice emailer like Eudora (hint hint.....) and filters everything under the sun, has multiple mail boxes and is an Email power user. In my case, I filter on the "photoforum" address in ANY header and route those messages to my Photoforum mail box. I don't seem to need the tag, but . . . when I delete messages and they go to the Trash folder and I want to go back and find them, they are now all mixed in with the other 300 mail messages I trashed today. For all my other lists, sorting on Subject groups all of the mailing lists together so I can find messages from there quickly. Photoforum's are sorted by the subject content and is much harder to find in the sea of messages. Since putting the [photoforum] tag in the subject line only has a minimal impact in file size transmitted, and its something that Andy should be able to have turned on without too much hassle, I say go for it. No harm, lots of benefits. If you make use of it, great, if not, no big deal. Thanks, Rob -- Rob Miracle Photographic Miracles 203 Carpenter Brook Dr. Apex, NC 27502 http://www.photo-miracles.com
