Identifying cctalk messages

Jim wrote.... As you say, ClassicCMP isn't the ONLY list you have that "doesn't identify itself"[1]. Perhaps there is a reason why we're not the only one. You're correct that most lists do have some text in the subject line, but I hardly think numbers alone is a cogent argument... that's the same logic that made windows the predominant OS these days ;) Jay West [1] I beg to differ with your characterization of ClassicCMP list traffic "not identifying itself". It actually does identify itself in a way that EVERY (yes, EVERY) mailing list identifies itself. Unlike the subject line tag, which not all lists do. It's just not identifying itself in the way your eyes are looking for. In fact, it's identifying itself in a less error prone manner that is much MORE common (actually, 100%, cause pretty much all lists have headers identifying the source).
