If the lists were unrelated, yes it would. But in my case, I've got my lists grouped by subject. SpamAssassin and related technolgies get dumped in one folder. I don't read much of the list-- only what looks interesting. However, I'm involved in the development end on one of the projects and I need to read most if not all the messages on that list-- which aren't many, I admit. So I think I've got my server-based rules set up to color the messages now so they stand out in the folder-- which is probable better than subject-tagging, but is more work and server overhead on my end. Anyway, I didn't ask for the subject tag. Was merely answering a question of how it would help someone. Again, it's obvious to me that there are way to many people against it here to even bother. You might as well try to convince Mac users that PCs are better... You'd have as much success. Bret
