If you want to be able to filter, you can use the Sender field which will always be: Sender: [EMAIL PROTECTED] It's also got all the normal list-id: header which is the most reliable way to identify it (and indeed all other mailing lists I've ever seen). Many email progs have special support for filter rules based on the mailing list headers, eg evolution.

They're pretty much standard practice. They take away valuable space that can be used for informative messages. I rarely see a subject I can't read the whole of in a single line anyway, though. Well, I've seen it happen on occasion. If you want to filter it out, don't do it by hand, that's what computers are for. That's not the problem, though. The occasional problem is not accidentally thinking oh, that's spam and deleting a post because you don't recognise the poster and the subject line looks vaguely spamlike. And the spammers have found ways of dealing with bayesian filters by now. If I whitelist and then scan through a spam folder once in a while that makes things even worse, because the proportion of spam in the spam folder is that much higher.

Not really, 99% of the non-spam mail I get's from mailing lists so it gives the same problem as having a spam folder. I also get better workflow with a single inbox at the moment. -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] The task of the academic is not to scale great intellectual mountains, but to flatten them. ___ Haskell-prime mailing list Haskell-prime@haskell.org http://www.haskell.org/mailman/listinfo/haskell-prime
