I agree. The main objection seems to be lack of Subject line space and the need for the first 20 or so chars to be meaningful. [hmd] prepended to the subject line would most likely be a good compromise for both camps, those who want something to define which, out of possibly many mailing-lists, this message belows to but only adds 6 chars for those who need to view as much of the subject line as they can. [hmd] +2 For those against a prepended subject signature, please consider that some of us are on many mailing-lists and which lists often change (in my case, about a dozen at any one time) so setting up filters is not all that reasonable for short term list involvement. It's something that definitely helps newcomers know which incoming emails belong to which list before they become familiar with clues from thread subjects or list members. --markc
