Personally, I'm ABSOLUTELY against it. I use evolution, mail, pine, and thunderbird. Sometimes I over IMAP, sometimes POP, sometimes neither. Some I have procmail some I don't.
I can't stand seeing nothing useful in subject as you only get like 80 characters or less in the command line tools -- even the guis unless you have a high resolution or large monitor and expand the window forever, you still can't see it. Also, I only know of -commits lists and [EMAIL PROTECTED] that does this at the ASF. I go to "great" lengths to strip them out when I've procmail available. Finally, being a -dev list most people here while called users of the API would be technically inclined. Next you know, they'll be asking we can allow html messages for my fancy web based interfaces to render.... Just my 2cents. -- ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Philip M.
