custom subject tag

[Janez Dovc <ja...@cosylab.com>]

There certainly is a good reason, but I will ask anyway. Why don't we have a
custom subject tag in all emails, sent to list. Something like [ant-user] in
the beginning of subject line would be perfect. 

Ciao,

It takes up ten chars of the subject?  ;)

I don't know the official reason, but if you're looking for filtering 
criteria, I have my ant-user emails shuttled into a folder by filtering 
the "List-ID" header for the content: "user.ant.apache.org" (both 
without the doublequotes).

1. because it really convolutes re: threading

2. because there is enough stuff in the message header for something 
like mozilla or even outlook-express-virus-execution-service to move stuff.

Look at the full headers and see what rules you can create from either 
the to: list or one of the other list related headers.
