For a similar reason I _don't_ like the subject tag. I like to filter my list subscriptions into gmail 'labels' - which gives me a colour coded way of spotting what I need(?) to see first, and also a good way of catching up on all of the mails from one particular list quickly. Doing it like this means I get {Ubuntu-Art}[ubuntu-art]Subject And when we add tags to emails it gets even worse! {Ubuntu-Art}[ubuntu-art][blubuntu]Subject Which saddens me :P - I don't get to see all of the subject quite often Al, in your situation isn't there a way to make your mail client add some tag to the subject? Also - from the other free software mailing lists I'm on, tagging seems like quite rare behaviour? Do you have a system for those other lists that don't tag that works? I'd be very happy with a shorter tag [ua], for example, would solve my problem. Who -- ubuntu-art mailing list ubuntu-art@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-art
