Yes, please... *every* other maillist I subscribe to

generates three times the message traffic the others do combined...
Please DON'T do this. Only about 5% of the mailing lists I subscribe
to have this, and it annoys the heck out of me because it just keeps
me from seeing that many characters of the subject line in the summary
view.
ANY decent MUA (mail reader) can filter on the other header fields to
put your cctalk mail into its own separate folder. I've been told that
even the d#%@ Microsoft Outlook and Outlook Express can do that.
Having the [maillistname] at the *end* of the
'Subject:' text makes no
sense whatsoever, begging the Right Honorable Sellam's pardon on the
matter.
Agreed, that would make no sense. Just as putting it before the subject
text makes no sense.
