[Zope] [OT] subject headings/clarification

[Andy McKay]

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?
