Hmmm, I am wondering if running this e-mail thread is adding a couple years worth of 6byte additions to the subject.
Seems silly to me - I prefer lists to do this - makes many peoples life easier - doesn't make anyones life harder (and frankly if 6 bytes is going to blow your bandwidth budget - you have worse troubles than this proposal) Please consider this as someone who thinks it is a good idea because some people want it - regardless if they can jump through 10 more hoops and get the same functionality with filters (on what ? - I hate it when people bcc: mailing lists and you loose the from/cc field containing the mailing list you are filtering on) - procmail (oppps what about the people that don't use that, etc. Bill On Thu, Dec 18, 2003 at 10:39:21AM +1200, Franck Martin wrote: > Because we, people on the road, use various mail systems and even web > based mail, where the filters are not applied yet... > > Why such a war for just 6 characters, while all mailing lists do it? > > Have you been out there? > > Let's give it a try and see... > > Cheers > > On Thu, 2003-12-18 at 04:26, Keith Moore wrote: > > > > > > > would it be asking too much to add [ietf] to the subject line of each message? > > > > yes. it's completely redundant information, and it interferes with readability, > > particularly on small displays. > > > > why don't you get a better mail reader that lets you classify mail as it arrives? > > that is a much better way to distinguish one list's traffic from another. > > ---- > Franck Martin > [EMAIL PROTECTED] > SOPAC, Fiji > GPG Key fingerprint = 44A4 8AE4 392A 3B92 FDF9 D9C6 BE79 9E60 81D9 1320 > "Toute connaissance est une reponse a une question" G.Bachelard
