Note that there are lots of ASF mailing lists. Indeed there are lots of ASF user mailing lists. And other organisations have user mailing lists too. So the feature would only work if the full mailing list id was used. Also the Commons mailing lists cover multiple components; the convention is to prefix the subject with the [component] name. So the full subject for this mail would become: [email protected] [ALL] Prefix for mails to [email protected]? > These few additional bytes wouldn't be a waste of anything IMHO. :) It's not just a few bytes, and it does cause problems: As far as I can tell from the screenshot you referenced, the prefix would result in truncation of the actual subject. > Cheers > Thomas > > On Tue, August 30, 2016 18:57, Christopher Schultz wrote: >> -----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- >> Hash: SHA256 >> >> >> Matt, >> >> >> On 8/30/16 12:01 PM, Matt Sicker wrote: >> >>> Oh, I thought he was talking about subprojects, not lists.
