Brad,

Sorry to chime in late, but would it make server side rules/filtering simpler if we added the mailing list name in the subject line?

The reason I ask is that since moving to a new mail server I can no longer create filters on the 'sender' ( or any other more exotic ) headers. This makes filtering a real pain for messages coming from the openjdk mailing lists. If the mailing list name was in the subject line... Of course I would need all the mailing lists I'm subscribed to to do the same.

the [email protected] emails is useful:

    Subject: [security-dev 01800]: The Real subject.

I note a lot of the client (e.g. sounds, swing) lists have just the list
name, and a lot of the server lists (e.g. tl, hotspot) don't have
either.  security-dev is the only one doing both the list name and the
message number.  It's not as useful as I originally thought when I
configured it, but I could be talked into it either way.

If you have an opinion, especially for keeping it the same, let me know
privately, no need to clutter everyone's email.  But I'm thinking I may
just remove the topic/number.  If I see a clear/obvious preference for
keeping one or both, I'll certainly take that into consideration.

Thanks,
Brad
