python list name in subject

[Abdur-Rahmaan Janhangeer]

Hi all,

i am subscribed to different python lists and they put their names in the
subject
[name] subject

hence i can at a glance tell which mail belongs to which list.

A requests to admins to implement if possible

Thank you!

Please don't. It wastes space which is better used on the subject. If
you want the mailing list prepended, then configure procmail (or
whatever) to do it for you.

Although, considering that the BDFL has now made type-hints
an official part of the language, a "forum-of-origin" type-
hint, may be more Pythonic than we care to realize.

Hmm...

Checking mailing list headers...yep, the "forum-of-origin" type hint
is already present in standards-compliant fashion defined by
RFC4021[1]:

List-Id: General discussion list for the Python programming language
<python-list.python.org>
List-Unsubscribe: <https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-list>,
<mailto:python-li...@python.org?subject=unsubscribe>
List-Archive: <http://mail.python.org/pipermail/python-list/>
List-Post: <mailto:pytho...@python.org>
List-Help: <mailto:python-li...@python.org?subject=help>
List-Subscribe: <https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list>,
<mailto:python-li...@python.org?subject=subscribe>

Just need a mail client that knows about standards and isn't
fettered. ;-)

Well, that pretty much disqualifies google groups. :-)

Better yet, put it in its own folder.

Even better, point a news client[1] at

That's non-standard. The standard place for that information is the
“List-Id” field <URL:https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc2919>.

> hence i can at a glance tell which mail belongs to which list.

Set up a filter on the specific value of the “List-Id” field, which is
set by any standards-conformant mailing list software.

Presto, you get any organisation you like based on that information; and
the rest of us don't get the Subject field cluttered.

ah thanks for the tip about me filtering them

thought the community liked core python style (mail lists where python dev
talk, discuss ideas,i.e. the ones where guido replies etc)

anyways thanks all
