[ClassicCMP] Re: [ClassicCmp] Tag requested in Subject: line

Because if you sort by subject so you can find an entire thread, you won't find the entire thread. Furthermore, almost anyone that filters thier mail into separate mailboxes shouldn't need that in the subject. I filter off of finding "classiccmp(a)classiccmp.org" in the message headers. Also what started out as: [ClassicCmp] Tag requested in Subject: line is now: Re: [ClassicCMP] Re: [ClassicCmp] Tag requested in Subject: line It will get worse. I'm was on a mailing list that does this with just a two letter id, and I've seen it creep most of the way across the subject. I will admit this might be handy if you're not filtering stuff into different mailboxes/folders. Of course if you're active enough on the list you should be able to recognize a message from the list, just by the sender/subject! Zane | Zane H.
