Hey Guys,
Just a quick suggestion for the Google Group. I'm not sure if anybody else is getting all the posts directly into their inbox like I am, but with other groups I use it's really helpful to have a prefix on the front to quickly distinguish the posts from personal emails.
Eg we use [Fishburners] and [SiliconBeach] for the Fishburners and Silicon Beach groups.

It's an easy change:
Settings -> Group Settings -> Settings -> Email Options -> Subject prefix

Something like [robodino] as a prefix would make life much easier for me.

Seems like a good idea. Thanks David
Anyone desperately against a prefix?

The Melbourne Hackspace does that already - it IS much easier...

(My 2 cents)

+1 although the gmail web interface does a good job of keeping all the emails and related replies/conversation together very well

I've had gmail add an RnD label to the mail coming from the list.  That and the threaded inbox has worked for me.  A prefix just saves everyone the time setting up a filter.

I would prefer something shorter as I read most email on iPhone with a tiny screen. RnD ? R+D? 
Not a big problem though.

I go for a shorter prefix too, but... I just have a server rule that dumps anything from Robo Dino into a hack space sub folder.
Mostly I read then on my phone.
Hence my terrible spelling and odd word choice in my replies

Added [RnD] to the email settings. Apologies if this causes threads in mid conversation to restart :-)

UNACCEPTABLE! This short transition period infuriates me, and I am quitting the list as a result. ;)
