The Swap and Umax lists add a prefix (e.g. [SWAP} ) to the subject lines of all messages that get posted. However, this list apparently does not have such a prefix. Frankly, I am leery about opening some messages with ambiguous subject lines because I'm not sure if they are Spam or not. Sometimes I simply wait and see if a reply turns up. Any way to tack a similar prefix to the messages on this list?
I'm sure it's something that the list administrator could add, but in the meantime you could do what I do, and set up a filter in your email program that takes all the incoming mail with a TO or CC of "[email protected]" and puts it in a subfolder of your inbox called "G-List".
I subscribe to a bunch of different email lists, and each gets filtered to it's own subfolder. If it weren't for this feature, I'd go crazy trying to find my own personal and possibly important emails amongst all the list messages filling my inbox.
Yes, please filter. I'm on several lists that prefix the subject and it's sometimes a problem as the subject column only shows so much and often that prefix causes some of the subject to disappear. It also makes a hash of threading as sometimes the prefix is before the "RE" and sometimes it's after.
