+1 Some mail clients will allow better presentation filtering based on $SUBJECT.

That's interesting, I thought people were perhaps using them for visual filter ("I see that is part of this list by the subject line"), but I didn't know you could get a different presentation filtering. So this would be different than moving it to a folder? Is it something automatic? (I usually use reliable headers, such as x-been-there, for filtering mailing lists, since subject lines are inconsistent. Also, I tend to avoid [Listname] in the subject because it's always a prefix, which shortens how much of the actual subject is visible in the mail client.) - - Karsten - -- Karsten 'quaid' Wade, Sr. Analyst - Community Growth http://TheOpenSourceWay.org .^\ http://community.redhat.com @quaid (identi.ca/twitter/IRC) \v' gpg: AD0E0C41 -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.12 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org/ iD8DBQFQBYD22ZIOBq0ODEERAvJpAJ9jAgNUpfRSgEy3QqrNqmmHaTX4qACgt6Ui PML8sMbIzlipMLvbwCGkRz8= =L7Jk -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----

It's a mailman setting

I usually use List-id header to filter. There is benefit both ways as mentioned here. I don't have an overly strong opinion either way. Mike

Right, the [Listname] in the Subject is configured in Mailman. I was wondering what the mail client presentation filtering is that Doron referred to.
I usually use List-id header to filter. There is benefit both ways as mentioned here. I don't have an overly strong opinion either way.
I personally don't like them and strip them out (Mailman sets it up automatically), but I'm going to vote +0 here because I also get the value of a list name in a Subject when the email goes to the Inbox. (I filter out other lists but e.g. infra@ goes to my inbox, which I do with important lists I focus on throughout the day.) - - Karsten - -- Karsten 'quaid' Wade, Sr. Analyst - Community Growth http://TheOpenSourceWay.org .^\ http://community.redhat.com @quaid (identi.ca/twitter/IRC) \v' gpg: AD0E0C41 -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.12 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org/ iD8DBQFQBYj/2ZIOBq0ODEERAlBRAJ9KZu1amkcL3f+xdOx/EDq6XCc3pwCghM81 7+NZzqF4z6e5rEOD5FeUzvg= =gggB -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
