[info-cvs] distinguishing list messages

[jjac...@allstor-sw.co.uk]

Hi!

Could the subject of contributions be automatically prepended with
[info-cvs]. Most mailing lists seem to have a prefix, and it is pretty
necessary to distinguish one's ordinary emails.

Regards,

John Jackson.

Hi John

Why not just sort on recipient (info...@gnu.org)?
Most filters should be able to do that.

anders

Please don't do this! There are headers in every message which allow
filtering of CVS mailing list messages into other folders.

I recommend you investigate the filtering and folder tools in you mail
client.

IMHO sorting on "Sender: info-cv...@gnu.org" is more correct - it
selects messages sent by the mailing list daemon disregarding the way
it received them.

Also the header "X-BeenThere: info...@gnu.org" is a header which will
always be present in all messages recieved from the mailing list.
