How does that help with knowing what mails to read what mails not to read? the agenda thread is a great example - I care about the agenda, because I'm even mentioned there, but I don't care about the legal mailing list that occupies 2/3 of the thread. People who like to care about legal stuff would be baffled that noone told them, because it was buried inside a thread about a conference they might not go to etc. Anyway, I'm not even a regular here so do what works for you. > > Regards > > Antoine. > > > _______________________________________________ > Python-Dev mailing list > Python-Dev@python.org > http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-dev > Unsubscribe: > http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-dev/fijall%40gmail.com _______________________________________________ Python-Dev mailing list Python-Dev@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-dev Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-dev/archive%40mail-archive.com
