Identifying cctalk messages

One interesting point he had was that it's useful in case the list address ever changes - which isn't relevant here, but is perhaps a valid point for mailing lists hosted with people such as Yahoo - who seem to have a habit of dropping groups/lists with no warning to their members. He did mention though that tagging subject lines was pretty much the norm back in BITNET days (and also that VMS made it rather awkward to see message headers other than the typical subject/date/sender) - so it's perhaps more historically correct. Doesn't make it right, of course, but it's an interesting observation :-) cheers Jules
