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. 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!

Hi Guys

Something thats been bugging me about this list for a while is the fact that the post subjects have no indication which mailing list they are from. All the other mailing lists I'm on prefix subjects with something like "[freeradius]" but since this list (as well as freeradius-devel) don't do this it makes it quite difficult to figure out what is going on in my inbox. Could we get this changed?

regards If you check the headers you will see that all mails have:

List-Post: <mailto:freeradius-users@lists.freeradius.org>

Simply create a filter based on that to put the mail in whatever folder you wish. If you want something added to the subject, that is easy enough to do locally also. Personally I strip all such things from my mail as it makes the mail much less readable. Why would you want to lose half of the width of your suject to useless data?

Cheers

Create a label in Gmail and then apply it based on the sender, reply-to, or to...whichever is the list email address. I do this all the time in Gmail. It works better than filtering by subject when ppl forward from one list that has subject tags to another. -- Dennis Skinner Systems Administrator BlueFrog Internet http://www.bluefrog.com
