The fact that you choose to configure your mail reader in some weird way
shouldn't affect the rest of us.
To show that other info means the header takes up several lines, instead
of one. Also, above the message area is the message list, which also
does not show that info and that's where I make my decision on whether to
click on "junk" for that message. I scan that list, before starting to
read messages, to find & mark spam. With some of the messages on this
list, I cannot look at that list and know whether it's likely spam or
not.
One other thing, the mail list can be sorted by subject. If there's a
forum name in the subject, then all messages from the list are grouped
together when sorted by subject.
In short, having the forum name in the subject provides useful function.
Why do you only have one Inbox/folder? Just configure your mail reader to
put messages for different forums in different folders.
