Subject line tags in the transition to the new mailing list server: [EMAIL PROTECTED] generates [U-Boot-Users]. [email protected] generates a [U-Boot].

Please post new messages only to the new mailing list > address: Messages with just [U-Boot-Users] in the subject line implies it was handled by [EMAIL PROTECTED] If this is the case, let the SF server handle the thread to completion! This is an implication of the sentence "Please post new messages only to the new mailing list address". Messages with both [U-Boot-Users] and [U-Boot] in the subject line implies it was handled by both by [EMAIL PROTECTED] and later handled by [EMAIL PROTECTED] Such messages should have stayed on the [EMAIL PROTECTED] to completion. Should they be switched back to the [EMAIL PROTECTED] server or would that mess up the archiving of messages even more? I'm assuming that it is desirable to have complete threads on either of the two mailing list servers and not split threads between them. Never send messages to both servers simultaneously. Everyone on the mailing list may get duplicate messages as a result. Messages with only [U-Boot] in the subject line implies that the thread started on the [email protected] server. The thread will stay on this server unless someone manually switches it to the old server or their mail client is severely misconfigured. Never switch a thread that started on the new server back to the old server. I have _not_ noticed this yet. Please correct me, if I've misunderstood the transition plan for switching to the new [email protected] mailing list server.
