Just because it's common doesn't mean it's good. The problem with this is that, no batter how wide your screen is, your mail client has a limited amount of screen real estate to display the subject line, and prepending a bunch of useless garbage on the front of the subject line obscures the important part... the part that you can see, which helps you identify the message. If your messages are cross-posted to multiple lists, the subject line can become completely obscured. There are far better methods of sorting your mail, and at least some of them are available on virtually every platform. Generally they are also completely free. Thus there is absolutely no good reason to rely on reducing the useful information visible in the subject line. > Thank you for considering this issue.
