mailing list suggestion

Would it be possible to prefix the subject line with an identifier such as [NET SNMP USERS] ? I (and probably most of us) get numerous messages a day and this would help to differentiate messages from junk & spam. Thanks---Jeff -Original message- From: Dave Shield [EMAIL PROTECTED] Date:

Anything of the sort would be great, not being picky of the actual name. > Agreed, but I'd vote for [net-snmp-users] and [net-snmp-coders] > (no capitals!) instead. > > > +Thomas > > -- > Thomas Anders (thomas.anders at blue-cable.de) > > > --

We've had less than perfect success (read it doesn't fscking work half the time) using filters in outlook, although it did occur to me that it might be nice (ie. have a hope in hell of working) if it was something like [net-snmp][users] so you could capture ALL net-snmp stuff and then break it down
