Hi list, though I joined this list only recently, and though there hasn't been too much mail traffic since then, I was wondering whether you can configure your mailman to prefix each mail's subject through the list with an identifier like [beast] so that it can be easily sorted by a mail filter rule? Would be quite handy..
hi Frank. this list (and mayn others hosted at mail.gnome.org) has no "[beast]" or other square bracket tags for a number of reasons: - the tags tend to clutter up subject lines - the tags are often inappropriate, especially with private replies and cross-postings - subject tags can not be used to reliably filter list messages - reliable filtering can be achieved by mailman header rules. that is, to reliably filter beast list messages, you can use the following rule: :0 H : * ^X-BeenThere: [email protected] $MAILDIR/beast i.e. every email to the list has a X-BeenThere: [email protected] header line.
Thanks, Frank
