I use Pegasus on a windoze box and simply filter
classiccmp mail into a folder. I don't know how this affects
email on other systems but surely it is possible to filter
based on the to or reply lines. It seems to add another
not really needed element to the whole process and even
as it is now, long subject lines are often unreadable.
If it does impact some system's functioning I would
grudgingly put up with it. I find new improvements almost
always cause new problems.

All,
Although this has come up a few times already, I am going to
bring it up again. Come kick my butt if you don't like it
:)
Given the volume of the list, and the many off-topic (lets
not discuss what is and is not on-topic here) talk, I would
like to propose [again] that we do like other lists do:
insert a tag [cctalk] in the Subject: line of the postings,
so it's easy to distinguis the postings from other, perhaps
more pressing e-mail.
Selecting/filtering based on sender address doesn't work
well for all clients, and depends on the ability to use
processing rules in the first place.
As said, most lists out there already use this technique,
it's been accepted more or less as a standard, so can we
*please* use something like this ?
I don't want to start Yet Another Discussion, a mere vote
would do, as we're all techies who know what this is about.
Cheers,
Fred
