[activemq-users] Mailing list subject
I just signed up to the ActiveMQ mailing list and the mails
are streaming in nicely. Hello Every one!
Dose anyone know who the list administrator is?
Please can the administrator change the list mailer to
alter the subject line so that it is clearer which list
the emails are coming from.
I am signed up to about 6 mailing lists and it is much
easier to set up the filters in my mail client if they
have a standard subject that I can filter on. Otherwise
I have to spend ages doing it by hand.
Can I suggest:
[activemq-users] - User List
[activemq-dev] - Developer List
[activemq-scm] - SCM List
so if the subject is:
"Can't start connection factory"
the mailer changes it to:
"[activemq-users] Can't start connection factory"
Many thank,
David

Fair enough. All my list mail goes into one folder, which
means I can't visually separate emails from different lists.
I can, but only by thinking that subjects without markers
belong to ActiveMQ. Hope I don't end up on any other lists
that don't add markers - then I'm into having to have separate
folders - which means more checking.
Anyway thanks, for the reply.
Regards,
David.

IMO, that's part of the problem. Replying off-list should only happen
on the most rare of occasions. Replying directly to someone shouldn't
take place unless you need to say something to them that you don't
want on-list. Notice I changed my reply to go only to the list. In
this case, there is no reason to be replying to me directly and CC'ing
the list.

Sorry, I don't understand.
The to: field is either users@activemq.apache.org which is fine,
but if someone replies to me off-list it breaks the whole
filtering thing.
The subject is the only aspect that remains constant.
Like in this case, where I have replied to you specifically
but copied the list for interest.

David

I'm not the list administrator, just making a suggestion. Most
everyone filters the messages using the to: field because it's unique
to each list.
