Actually, filtering on Subject is the "caveman" thing to do. :-) The following headers are *specifically* added by the mailing list software to enable you to accurately filter your incoming mail: > Thread-Topic: Fwd: mailing list management > X-BeenThere: community@lists.openmoko.org > X-Mailman-Version: 2.1.5 > Precedence: list > List-Id: List for OpenMoko community discussion <community.lists.openmoko.org> > List-Unsubscribe: <http://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community>, > <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > List-Archive: <http://lists.openmoko.org/pipermail/community> > List-Post: <mailto:community@lists.openmoko.org> > List-Help: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > List-Subscribe: <http://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community>, > <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > Sender: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Errors-To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] You should use one of those. Why do you think they were added to the mailman software in the first place? Subject line real estate is a precious commodity. It should not be wasted on information that is already available in the mailing list headers. On the other mailing list topic (Reply vs Reply-All): When you receive a mail with one person on the To: line and many people on the Cc: line - if you just hit "Reply", you expect it to go to the *one* person on the To: line. If you hit "Reply-All", you expect it to go to all the people referenced on the To: and Cc: lines. A mailing list is conceptually just a very big Cc: line. If you were to change the behaviour so that Reply went straight to the mailing list, then there would be no way (other than cutting and pasting addresses around) to reply to *just* the sender. My vote is to leave things exactly as they are. Harald set things up the way they are based on his experience in being an active participant in many technical mailing lists. Do the people suggesting these changes think that they really know better about how this list should be set up? -- Rod _______________________________________________ OpenMoko community mailing list community@lists.openmoko.org http://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community
