Thus said Fossil SCM user's discussion on Wed, 22 Jun 2016 10:54:47 -0400: > This is an experiment.
Hopefully one that is short lived. :-) It's pretty confusing to see a bunch of emails coming from ``Fossil SCM user's discussion'' in my MUA. I often like to brain filter messages (e.g. decide which emails to read first according to sender) but this will not work now that all messages are ``anonymous''. In addition, I like to know who is speaking *before* I start reading the message because I think this is important context. Sure, I suppose that might bias my interpretation of the words I see in the message, but I'm willing to live with that. :-) I've read through a number of replies on this thread and I'm still not certain who sent them and don't really want to invest the time trying to figure it out. This is exacerbated when the signature is at the very bottom, after a long response, and following a bunch of unnecessary quoted material (e.g. what happens in a top-post reply). Dealing with bots can be a tricky problem, but this is probably the only time I've seen anonymizing the emails employed as a method for dealing with it. Now that I've seen it, I don't think it's a very useful technique. What if subscription requests had an additional challenge aspect to them? Just my 2 cents.
