Well, I suggest "taking the temperature" of the entire list
about this, but I can affirm that this solution has worked before.
I suggested this sort of solution to the original GoLive
CyberStudio list (before Adobe bought the Web editing
software/company from GoLive, and renamed the product "Adobe Golive")
and originated the "WISHLIST" prefix to list subjects. It seemed to
have caught on sufficiently to have Macromedia use the same process
(and subject prefix) on their list for Dreamweaver.
Could work on this list, too. Just have to be careful:
Having a lot of subject nouns (e.g. "Wishlist", "IMAP", "Config",
etc.) can get confusing and further erode the discipline needed to
use a proper subject line such that the list archives can be properly
(and easily) searched.
Hope that I'm not out of line, here.
