subject line - attn list admin

[Kenneth Gonsalves]

hi
it would be good if the word '[django]' or something appeared in the
subject line on all django list mail. currently, only after opening the
mail can one detect its belongs to the django list

Hey Kenneth,

You could set up an e-mail filter so that it filters on the recipient
"django...@googlegroups.com".

i could - but why should i? every other list i subscribe to puts a list
name in [] - postgres lists, wxpython lists, linuxchix lists etc etc -
so why not you? - (this is not an attempt to start any flame war, but i
think it is common practice)

Yes it's common but it has a disadvantage that prefix eats screen place
from real subject. In most list with prefixed subjects I can't find a
single message where real subject is entirely visible in my mail reader.
This is the reason why one might not want the prefix. OTOH I don't see a
point of not using 'from' field for filtering. It's just as easy...
