It started to spreed when more and more lusers got on mailing lists. Those lusers where to dump to setup there MUAs to filter on "X-BeenThere: " or "Sender: " etc. So that "Subject: " mangling idiocy started to spreed. For me this is just nothing else but idiot compatibility. I absolutely can't stand it. Most of the time I can't read the actual subject, beause it is prefixed with so many and long prefixes. All I see in my MUAs subject is prefixes. Relly anoying. I am really glad that classiccmp and the NetBSD lists are free of this *~$\#?%!^/@(*$#(. It is just the same luseritis as top-post-full-quote. Maybe I shloud set up some procmail filtering to remove that |@&^*)#\% prefixing from Subject lines. (And if I get around to do it, I am glad to share my setup with you. Because the same stuff that removes prefixes can be used to insert them. So you will get your prefixes on lists that don't do it for you. :-) ) -- \end{Jochen} \ref{http://www.unixag-kl.fh-kl.de/~jkunz/}
