I admit many lists do this, but I'm (mildly) against the practice, and here's why: there are already headers that identify that mail is coming from the Seesat mailing list, and almost any mail reader can use these to group messages together (I use the Resent-From header to split Seesat messages into their own folder, but Gmail offers labels to group mail, and other mail readers I'm sure offer similar features). When I'm looking at a mailbox (folder), the information I have is the name of the mailbox, the name of the sender, and the subject, and using part of the subject to convey the same information as I've already extracted as the name of the mailbox often truncates the subject to something less informative. -------------------------------- Mine does not do this..
