Good afternoon Mike,
You're certainly right in that if you have a good email client, simply
opening unfamiliar emails (as opposed to unfamiliar *attachments*) is
not a major security issue for many people. That said, some people
don't want to risk getting phished, for example.
Which won't happen unless you start clicking on links. I think perhaps
one particularly insecure email client has given everyone the
heeby-jeebies about reading emails :-)
On the other hand, Bill is right in that it helps to know that a given
email is from this list. Otherwise it can be difficult to tell that
Yes....
it's not spam, and it may even be missed entirely in the flood of
email so many of us get. So I support his suggestion that as with many
other lists - including my own newsletter list - each post's Subject:
line should include some kind of indication. (I've manually inserted
one here.)
....and no. We've not long been round this one. There are better ways of
checking this than overloading a subject line with extraneous clutter.
IMO; YMMV; etc. :-}
But isn't this exactly what mail filters and folders are for?
(And btw, look how muddly the subject line could become - I too have
manually added your same subject marker to make a point.)
