Actually, folks, the software is -not- so stupid.
What happened was that I put on my -personal- subject: line the string
[ClassicCmp]. Then Jay added first ClassicCMP then [ClassicCmp]; these are
in fact different. Notice:
Re: [ClassicCMP] Re: ClassicCMP Re: [ClassicCmp] Tag requested in Subject
If people had chosen to be observant, they would have noticed -no- other
subject had multiple tags inserted, even when following-up.
This is the way it should be. The linux-usb, bsd-usb, and irda lists all
use tags, and are very helpful.
Again, I don't see what the issue is for inserting [C] or [CC] at the
beginning.
As for this robbing people of 4 characters on the subject: line - gimme a
break!
(Or should I pop into flippant mode: what, -you- don't use 132-column
screens to read your email! How primitive!) ;-)

p.s. For the humor impaired, please note the ;-) on the previous paragraph.

seem to have them off, but the point is not how long they are, it is that
the software is too stupid to see "Re: [ClassicCMP]" and say "gee this
thing already has a tag on it, I'll leave it alone." Instead it adds
another one, so every reply adds 16 characters to the subject line. Tags
are evil.
