Subject prefixes (was: RE: suggestion)
What do you all think about activating the mechanism that automatically includes the name of the list before the subject of a mailing list email? For example: "[hugs-users] Installation problems" or "[haskell] newbie question".
I don't like the extra prefixes, but if most folk would prefer them then I can turn them on. Let me know if you have a preference one way or the other (don't mail to the list).
Thanks to all those who replied. The results were: 9 in favour of adding a '[haskell]' prefix, and 15 against. So I won't make any changes this time. For those who were in favour of adding the prefix, the preferred solution is to have your mail reader automatically sort Haskell mail into a separate folder. There are plenty of useful headers in the messages from haskell.org which make it possible to do just that - eg. List-Id is a good one. Cheers, Simon
