Re: Att. Admin: Mailing list subject prefix... please?

[David Jones <gnome@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I use a mail client that only displays a certain number of characters to 
the subject line. Adding such list-identifiers (especially at the start 
of the subject) just adds useless garbage that nearly makes the subject 
line useless to me. If it could be added at the END of the subject, then 
people could still filter on it without other people having it clutter 
the subject line.

FWIW, I'm firmly convinced that this whole concept of modifying subjects 
arose solely for one thing - to compensate for the inability of Outlook 
Express and older versions of Outlook to filter on anything *except* 
Subject, From, and To fields.

But what do I know? I can't STAND doing email via Outlook or web-based 
services - every one I've ever met has been slow and clumsy! ;-)
