Or maybe "X-scm-notification-for:" or just extend the existing header value with the repository name. > I suppose it's a difference of usage model... some people prefer to > visually see the difference via the subject.

As soon as you have opened the mail, you can display (with mutt) the unignored x-scm- header and highlight it so you'll see it fast. But when displaying the index of mails, mutt can only use different colors or such. > The one thing I'm not fond of with trailing subject markers like your > example is email clients that may not have room to show it: > Subject: some really long subject line that would wrap outside of mutt's > viewable subject field [scm-migration/docs] So this solution may degrade to the x-scm- headers used now. Putting the tag in front of the subject requires a shorter tag, so less real content of the subject is lost. But I think the main question is: Do you want to make it easier for people not caring about SCM notifications to see that the mail isn't interesting for them, and if yes, do you think they should configure their MUA to tell them that this mail isn't interesting?
