Subject Tag
How hard would it be to get a subject tag for this list in the subject like
the old list? Outlook doesn't like filtering based on recipient addresses.
:(
Thanks,
Geoff

If you dig through your inbox for messages with the Subject:
"Subject prefix on the new list" from earlier today, I think
you'll find plenty of discussion!
Of course, you can always use procmail to ADD any such tags to
sort just the way you want!

I second the request for the subject tag.

99.9% of the time that works. (this is one of the exceptions.)
Looking for spamassassin-users in the List-id:, Mailing-List:, Sender:,
Return-path: fields works much better. Return-path is probably the most
universal.

What's the problem with filtering for
spamassassin-users@incubator.apache.org in the To: or Cc: fileds? Works
fine with OE.

This debate rages on and on, on almost every mailing list I've ever been on.
The general consensus on every list so far, not this one:
If you want a subject tag, add it in yourself. If you need it for
filtering, filter on some other header. Both Outlook and Eudora support
filtering by /other/ things (hint: look at the List-Id: header), not just
Subject, To, and From.
I can appreciate the desire for easy visual filtering -- those with
Blackberries know what I'm talking about -- but it's also worth pointing out
that even '[sa-users] ' adds considerable space to a subject line, that may
already be somewhat lengthy.
procmail is your friend. And that's all I'm going to contribute to this
subject-tag debate.

In Eudora, I'm just filtering off of the List-Id: header. It works fine.

Duncan Hill sent out a nice summary of why this might NOT be the
most logical approach earlier today. See the "Re: Subject prefix
on the new list", and I'll defer to his expertise on the merits of
the approach.
For those with "challenged" clients (myself included), a very easy
solution -- without asking the list to conform to the
lowest-common-denominator client -- is to use the same procmail
used for filtering spamassassin to modify headers to suit my own
personal tastes.
Here's an example (actually a couple of my existing recipes
combined):
# NEW sa-talk list
:0 fw
* ^Subject:\/.*
* ^List-Id: .*spamassassin\.apache\.org
| formail -i "Reply-To: spamassassin-users@incubator.apache.org" \
-I "Subject: [SA-Talk-My-Way] - $MATCH"
The beauty is you can have the tag use whatever you want so things
line up nicely in the OE screen when sorted, or use SHORTER tags.
I actually strip subject tags OUT of messages (along with
excessive Re:, Fwd:), since I'd rather have the screen space tell
me more about the contents of a message.

2nd that, and not just for Outlook, for Eudora and others that allow for
storage by rule triggers as well.
Thanks
