I have configured all the lists I run so that the mail exploder will,
at the left of the subject line, insert the name of the list in
brackets thus: [LISTNAME] .
This is very useful on busy lists, specialist lists and lists with
multiple threads and varying subject lines, as well as being a
protection against the human error of answering public mail as if it
were private, which is how IETF mail (lacking, as it does, a subject
tag) currently surfaces in our mailers.
For example, I have just received 2 identical msgs from Debbie
Garside, one obviously listmail (identified as such by the [LTRU]
lead-in on its subject line) the other apparently private mail (until
an examination of its internal routing headers revealed it to be
listmail.
I note that LTRU's admin people already do this, and wonder if IETF's
admin would similarly oblige?
Just asking.
