>Well, since I belong to multiple mail lists over five different
accounts, I have more than enough inboxes already, thankyouverymuch! And
I'm sure I'm not the only one here in that position. Why should I be
forced to set up yet another inbox as well as a filter, just for the
convenience of a couple of other people? Is it really too much to ask
that an email list message identify itself in the header?

It does. Just not in the Subject header. Until one person requested it and bang it was imposed on everyone.

All my list email is shot directly to its specific mailbox, leaving the
"in" box for mostly personal mail.

As for being "forced to set up another inbox and filter"!
Really, does this take more than 10 seconds?

Every other
list I subscribe to (other than the G-Books list) does so, and nowhere
else has there ever been any complaints about it being a problem......

Here's one.

And another. I HATE the "[LISTNAME]" tag in my email. Every time I reply to a message, I cut it out.


Set up a filter for yourself. You're done after you burn those 15 seconds. You'll spend more time eye-balling your inbox picking one the [G-LIST] messages each time you get new mail...

All LEM lists identify themselves in the "header" with a "Sender:" header, "To:" header, and "Reply-to:" header. It's incredibly easy to build a filter using those as your keys.

Peace,
Drew
