> How about an agreed list of acronyms that we use to prepend the Subject line with: NEWB, MXML, AS3, DESIGN, HTTP, ALL, etc., and we do the sorting ourselves with the mail rules? >
You can't force people to add keywords to their subjects (I'd also argues that any categories you come up with are inherently flawed and topics usually apply to many categories), since people unfamiliar with the list won't do it, and the biggest problem I see has to do with people new to Flex and this list (note that I highly support new developers getting involved and asking questions, but they should do a little research first and not ask someone to do their work for them). If people start tagging their subjects it might catch on and people might be smart enough to see the traffic on the list and adhere to the standard before posting, but I give it a very small chance. And if someone replied and changed the subject line then threading gets all jacked, which is why I suggested someone replying with a certain tag in the body of the message that we can use to filter the threads (not to categorize legit threads, simply to filter out illegitimate ones).
