I agree, I just can't see tagging like this ever working all that well. If there is an easily identifiable (esp. to non-Struts gurus) topic that seems to generate a fair amount of traffic, then I think a separate mailing list is a better idea. Tiles is a good example, I think.

My problem with starting these "[topic] subject" headers for our emails is that every time a new person posts to the list you'll be going through the same hell telling them how to format their headers correctly, (as well as how to search the archive, how to phrase questions . . . .etc) To me it would be nice if everyone done this, but chances are it's not going to happen. The few people who try to do it are going to get annoyed that no one else does etc. Getting people to put half decent headers on the emails would be a start. How many time have you seen things like "help" or "struts problem"? Why else are these people posting to the group? These headers might help with these problems, but I doubt it would ever be enough to filter your emails. Totally agree that making 2 list will just encourage double posting too!
