There's this Show Details button that appears at the top of it. Click that. Then there's this line that says mailing list, followed by python-list.python.org Then there's this super easy link added right next that you can click. Voila, it fills out everything you need have just Gmail, depend just on Gmail, and sort your messages in a very usable way, without screwing with everyone else and stealing away their valuable horizontal space. -- Stephen Hansen ...

Just don't care for it. For those of us who have our e-mails automatically sorted into folders, having [python-list] in the subject line would be incredibly redundant. Also, it's a waste of horizontal space. I believe you could use a mail preprocessor, like Fetchmail or Procmail, to modify your e-mails before you receive them, though.
