Fine. I thank those of you who made filtering suggestions. I can and have set up filters and rules in mail clients (yes, "even in Outlook"). However, sometimes my own eyeballs and brain are the only available or convenient filter. For example, say I'm using a web-based interface to my mail server in which I can configure no rules. Or if I am using someone else's computer, and barely have time to put it my server settings, let alone a couple of dozen rules to duplicate my laptop where I keep everything nice and tidy.

The rhn-users list puts in the "[rhn-users]" text in the Subject, and I know that does wonders for me in the types of situations I mention above. I don't see how this tidbit can be so aesthetically objectionable, but that's aesthetics. Beauty in the eye of the beholder and all that. As for the multiple [] problem, I'll just say that I've never noticed it on the rhn-list, and only very rarely on any list whatsoever. Seems (to me!) like something that should be *very* easy to handle on the list server side, but I bow to the judgement of the administrator, and thank him for his consideration. <This email is certified flame-free by the sender :-) > Wayne -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:redhat-list-request@xxxxxxxxxx?subject=unsubscribe https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
