On mobile devices, shorter subjects are better. A [xen-devel] email already has one 11-character tag. Since tags are in CAPITALS, abbreviated tags = less SHOuting. > [Diziet] Only because we copy everything from -announce to -devel. Some mailing lists use [ANN] for announcements. Email mirrored to xen-devel from -announce could prefix the [ANN] tag, which would not be used for non-mirrored email, since all announcements would be directed to -announce. > [gwd] But in my mind, things like RM updates (which happen pretty regularly) > and say, Developer Summit announcements, are different things. The messages which prompted this discussion were related to release management. These were called RM in the IRC discussion, which suggests [RM] as a possible tag. It's quick to type and non-distracting to read. This would not preclude other tags for non [RM] messages.
