Adding prefixes to list mails is purely redundant, since any good email client can already sort email into folders or automatically apply labels based on headers, and it creates a usability problem. Consider someone who doesn't have a 2400-pixel wide maximized email client, and who sees this set of subject lines: [django-users] Problem with m [django-users] Needing help wi And compare to: Problem with mod_python Needing help with sessions Which one is more useful? Again: the proposal has come up multiple times and has been shot down multiple times. Is it really worth expending energy to argue with something that's not important at all in the long run, and which won't be changed at all by the arguing? ;) -- "Bureaucrat Conrad, you are technically correct -- the best kind of correct." --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django users" group.
