only list I have that doesent identify itself and it is frustrating
when you dont know which list sent it. MOST lists have an identifying
signature in the subject line!!!
But surely a mail client or locally-running processor could do that for you if
you so wanted, based on the list headers? So it's already possible for those
who wish to do it, and at the same time those who don't think it's necessary
don't have to do anything.
Personally I'm with Patrick on this one - I find it annoying on lists that do
it because it pushes the meaningful subject line over more than it needs to
be, (even more so if people change subject lines when replying (e.g. "xxx
was: yyy" and don't bother to edit out the automatically-added text)
I just filter based on list headers; everything from classiccmp goes into one
folder, other mailing lists go into their own folder etc. and it all just
works :-)
