Your lists are very different from mine. I'd say about 3/4 of the lists I
am subscribed to do not use subject tags (all the FreeBSD lists, NANOG,
ipfilter, procmail, postfix...). I have also seen a trend of lists dropping
their subject tags, with the list moderators telling subscribers (albeit in
nicer words) to suck it up.
But what I see and what you see don't necessarily jive with what the
[EMAIL PROTECTED] see. They've apparently made the decision to
drop the subject tag. Might I suggest that if you need the subject tag,
you stick it in yourself. More than one procmail recipe has been submitted
to the list to do this. And I'm sure there's more than just procmail that
can modify subject tags.
If they change their minds, you may find that you like your subject tagging
better, and keep it in. Otherwise, you can turn off your rule.
Instead of bickering about it, wait for them to step in on the debate, and
register list policy. What they decide, we all have to live with. And if
we don't like it, we can either work around it, or unsubscribe. Be it
subject tags or no.
