Hi there,

I think it could be a great thing if the mailing list could be setup
to prefix subject of the email with something like this one:

[MacPorts-Dev]

Eitherwise it is nearly impossible to distinguish between list
messages and personal ones.
I think it something easily accomplishable.

I used to be a subject tag fan, but I'd much rather use that real estate for real subject line these days. I don't object to short ones (< 5 chars), but more than that is kinda painful, IMhO.

There is already a List-Id message header which can be used for
filtering and identifying which list the email is from, but some email
clients don't really let you see email headers or know how to deal with
mailing lists. I guess that's why I'm still using mutt :P

Actually, almost all of them do, and many now let you set up mailing list filters or add custom headers to filter on. It doesn't yet pass my Mother-in-Law test*, but it should be within reach of anyone on this mailing list (again, IMhO).
