Standard prefix for mailing list subject lines

[Alvin Thompson <al...@thompsonlogic.com>]

is there any way that mailing list subject lines can be prepended with a
common string, such as '[geronimo]'? i'm finding it difficult to
differentiate between the emails i get here and the tons of spam that
assaults my inbox...

thanks,
alvin

Actually, you should filter by the "List-Post:" header, which all ASF
mailing lists have. Here's what all the "List-*" headers looked like in
the message you sent:

list-help: <ma...@incubator.apache.org>                      
list-unsubscribe: <ma...@incubator.apache.org>        
list-post: <ma...@incubator.apache.org>                           

Hope that helps,

I think we shoud put some flag in the body or on the subject to make it
possible for the member to filter out spam mails
