Tagging subjects of emails sent from the list

Would it be possible to change mailing list settings so that topics of emails begin with "[glasgow-haskell-users]" (and for upcoming lists: "[ghc-devs]", "[ghc-commits]" and so on. No quotation marks of course). It would make filtering and searching in the mailbox easier. Janek

I'd prefer if they weren't tagged. My mail reader (GMail) can do the
tagging for me and I'll end up with duplicated tags and the list of
subjects get harder to scan.

I'm with Johan. I have tools to sort the list mail and would prefer not to have redundant stuff obscuring the subject line. I see you're using KMail. Surely that has automatic filtering facilities?

I see you're using KMail. Surely that has automatic filtering facilities? Of course, though I use filters on Zimbra so that I don't need to redefine them on each of my machines. Zimbra filters are a bit crappy though and it would be easier for me to write filters based on subject. I can manage without it though if it would be problem for others.

Same here; that's what RFC-2919[1] is for... [1]: http://www.faqs.org/rfcs/rfc2919.html

Right, we deliberately don't add subject tags for exactly that reason. There are enough headers in mailing list emails for your mail reader to automatically filter/tag messages if you need to. Cheers, Simon On 20/12/12 09:21, Johan Tibell wrote:
