Because most other lists (for example, Sourceforge) add [prefixes] to emails, that make it easier - for me at least - to filter emails by list in Gmail and other mail clients.
Well, I dont know about gmail, but every decent mail client that I can think of can rewrite headers one way or another. So can procmail.
I'm currently subscribed to the following lists that use [prefixes]:
[shorewall-users] [openvpn-users] [openvpn-devel] [lartc] [snort-users]
What's more, these don't seem to be small groups either.
I'd be eager to see the prefixes added, as it'd make my mail archives look a lot neater and easier to sort through.
I agree about losing half the subject line to said headers, but to be honest it's not much point knowing more of the subject line if you have no idea what list it's from!
As I said its easy for you to add this yourself. You should also read: http://www.andrew.cmu.edu/user/qralston/writing/tagging-harmful/ -- Peter Nixon http://www.peternixon.net/ PGP Key: http://www.peternixon.net/public.asc
