This response makes it sound like as if the perfectly reasonable request from Adam is not possible without actually going so far as to actually state that. That should not be the case, since other mailing lists I subscribe to that also use Stalker as their mail server do have their subject configured with the list name in their subject. (One other I can think of, that even comes from this particular server :-) There is a whole other argument that talks about adding "WAMUG - " or "[WAMUG]" to a subject and the additional bytes that would take on people's hard-disks and Internet connection, but I'll leave that as an exercise to the reader. If anyone is taking notes, I don't particularly care either way, my email-program already knows the difference between WAMUG mail and other mail and the suggestion to configure your SPAM filter is a reasonable suggestion, but all I wonder is how to tag the messages from Daniel as advertising - (smile, I'm kidding...) So all in all, little information in this particular contribution from me... Time for a cup of coffee... ... move along, nothing to see ... PS. Just arrived in sunny NSW, seems we just escaped the snow in the Dandenongs, next thing it will start snowing here and I'll have to escape to Queensland...
