There is more than one way to filter. Don't do it on subject. Do it on To:, From:, or a custom header, such as List-Id:. We don't expect you to be an expert. We expect that you ask for help when needed -- instead of continuously arguing that you need the tag to filter, look at the suggestions, ask for clarification, or ask for help. Please, arguing that you can't filter without a subject tag is like saying you can't leave your house because you're missing a shoelace. I understand that some folks (notably, OE users) are going to have extreme difficulty filtering. But for those who use a real e-mail client[1], this isn't that big of a deal. I have already asked the list moderators for their input on this subject, to hopefully quash this moronic debate. [1]This is not a jab at MS. This is not saying that you made crappy choices. This is not saying that if it's not Linux, it's crap. This is saying that, IMHO, Outlook Express does not suffice on *any* desktop as a mail client. If Free is your perogative, check out Eudora, Thunderbird, and Opera. I'm sure there are plenty of others. But OE just doesn't cut it. IMHO.
