For once, I actually agree with everything you said here. :) I hate the subject line munging because it adds a bunch of useless info to the beginning of the subject line, making it harder to see the actual metadata that makes it worth having a subject line in the first place. On a list like this it's not so bad, but it gets really bad when people cross-post to multiple lists, as happens at work more than I would prefer... BUT... Last I knew a couple of very popular MUAs couldn't filter on anything reasonable, and many of the users of such MUAs don't have a choice what they run because it's dictated by their employer/spouse/etc. so for those people it's the only recourse. Sometimes, you have to make sacrifices for the greater good, even if you are technically "in the right" (so to speak). -- Derek D.
