I really dont see the problem: Advantage: - simple clear which list you are talking about. - filters people who reply directly to you rather than to the list (useful) Disadvantage: - 6 extra characters in the subject line What am I missing? -- Andy McKay. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Mike Renfro" <renfro@tntech.edu> To: "Michel Pelletier" <michel@digicool.com> Cc: "Bill Anderson" <bill@libc.org>; <zope@zope.org> Sent: Friday, May 11, 2001 1:09 PM Subject: Re: [Zope] [OT] subject headings/clarification

99% of the email users in this world have no idea how to filter mail, and they *don't want to know*. There's a reason why mail readers show only a minimal amount of headers, because that information is useless to anyone but the filtration-anal or a mail system administrator.
I doubt the percentage of non-filtering Zope list subscribers is anywhere near that high (I realize that you're probably exaggerating). Second, even the minimal amount of headers most mail readers show by default (To:, Cc:) is enough to filter the lists out. Filtering on To: and Cc: drops maybe 1 [Zope] message per week into my regular inbox.
Any way we could set up a poll restricted to mailing list members to see how many people really care about this subject one way or the other?
