I suggest the Majordomo "config" file include a line like this:
subject_prefix = [ClassicCmp]
or somesuch. That way, it's quite easy to sort on messages from this list
both automatically, and, equally important, manually.
I have to come out as vehemently opposed to this. I'm on a couple of lists
that do this, and *all* it really achieves is reducing the number of
visibie/useful characters in the Subject: header, and increasing the
noise level.
The Sender: header already contains "owner-classiccmp"; surely pine (never
used it, msyelf; went from 'mail' to 'elm' to 'mutt', which I
*LIKE* :-))
can sort on Sender:. Or use procmail to distribute your mail into folders;
the following is the procmail recipe that I use for this list:
:0:
* ^Sender:.*owner-classiccmp*
classiccomp
(Yes, it could be smarter, but I don't feel like taking the time :-))
In short, Ah'm agin' it.
