Longer answer... I used to be with you, I prefered
having the mailing
list put a tag in each subject line. However, the list membership at
large resoundingly over-ruled me there and I've actually come around
to the other way of thinking. This topic has come up many times
before, and often becomes both long and hostile. But the overwhelming
majority of people don't want the tag in the subject line, so I don't
have that option turned on. If the majority changes stances, then
we'll do it :) I must respectly submit that most people who want the
subject line tag are those who didn't know that one can sort into
folders based on header criteria which is actually much more accurate
and "sensible". It does involve a one time setup of taking an extra 30
seconds to view the headers of a classiccmp list email and see what we
provide for you to key on. I'm sure you'll find it's adequate.
I didn't intend to drag up a subject that has been exhausted before.
I'm clearly in the minority, and I can live with that. I do prefer, as
one other responder described, to see all my new e-mails in one place.
I don't like to jump around to multiple folders, but I can live with it
for one list.
In addition, cctalk/cctech traffic is run through a
very very
effective antivirus and spam processing engine. You won't get spam on
the cclist.
That's nice, but not all of my messages are filtered through your list.
