Prefixes are to the subject line, as in CHAT: Is everyone in New
Orleans OK after the hurricane?
They do a lot of good because you can set up a filter for them in your
mail browser or in your ISP, if your ISP has that capability. That is
how I can avoid downloading 50 chat messages a day (and I'm not
exaggerating) from the translators' list. They chat on many subjects,
but almost all the chat is labeled CHAT:
However, I do agree with all the suggestions to have good subject lines,
change them when you change the subject. I also think a list change to
reply-to-sender would be good. The latter makes people think every time
they post about whether this really should be a private message.
I don't get particularly stirred up about whether people snip posts much
or not (despite still having dialup because
my-husband-the-computer-programmer, who sets up these things, is ticked
off at A T & T and he says most broadband goes through A T & T one way
or another). On the other hand, snipping is never a bad idea, either.
