Surely it is not. You should get two copies of this particular email
(I'll get three). Try to filter your pair into different folders. It may
be possible, by using deep-inside headers; it would not in the least be
straightforward. --/tj/

Rob,
Good point. If there is no one who uses this list that objects in the
time window, I'll take it to ooo-dev and from there as appropriate.

A mild objection here... prefixes at the start of the subject line clutter
a limited screen space. I loath them, and there are better ways of achieving the
end that don't involve overloading the subject text.
Would it not be better to use an email header to flag the source, then
those that want can use their mail reader to file in suitable places. (I
currently crudely filter on 'to' address and 'return-path' to
achieve this)
I'm probably a minority of one though :-)
Please explain how that flag will enable sorting on mail list, as I mentioned
earlier? With a list name in the subject, sorting the mail list by subject
results in all list messages grouped together. Also, in this day& age, is
display space really an issue. Sure, I could filter into different folders, but
that's is not the way I want to read the vast majority of mail I read.

Most of the mail lists I participate in include something to indicate
the forum name in the message subject. This makes it a lot easier to
identify mail list messages from what might otherwise look like spam.
Is it possible for this list to do the same? IIRC, the old OOo list
included "Users" in the subject line and libreOffice includes
"libreoffice-users".
Isn't the name in the To: header? And isn't that header visible to
all?

I strongly favor adding to the subject, because:
(1) The "To:" header is not visible until I open the message. (I might
configure Tb to display it, at the cost of not displaying something more
useful.)
(2) When the message has "To: Albert CC: ListA, ListB", and I
subscribe to both lists, I get two identical copies (three, if I'm Albert),
which any filter is going to assign to the same folder (whichever filter runs
first *must* catch both copies). With subject markers, I can filter that easily.
