Date: Fri, 18 Apr 2003 20:06:18 -0400 I agree. It is not THAT much to expect that folks on this list can configure the filter/rules functions that their email clients to handle this mailing list as well! I am a member of many mailing lists. I would hope that others who subscribe here can deal with the light email load here like the others they probably subscribe to as well! It ain't rocket science or brain surgery, folks....

This practice dates back to the rimes when mail clients did not offer (any serious) filter options.. Nowadays it is easy enough to have a separate folder for teh rockbox maillinglist and have the mailclient put all files which pass the rockbox filter there. This is a MUCH better solution.. I do know that many people do not use the filter options in their mailclient and many even have no clue they exist, but me for one would hate to see a refence to the maillist name in each header. >FWIW, I agree that a unique list identifier *would* be helpful on the subject line. Perhaps... Why? There is a unique identifier present, it's the TO: field which always is rockbox_at_cool.haxx.se .. So just set a filter to look for this and move anything comeing in that matches the filter to a separate folder named ROCKBOX (or something like that)..
