hi Frank.
this list (and mayn others hosted at mail.gnome.org) has no "[beast]" or
other square bracket tags for a number of reasons:
- the tags tend to clutter up subject lines
- the tags are often inappropriate, especially with private replies and
cross-postings
- subject tags can not be used to reliably filter list messages
- reliable filtering can be achieved by mailman header rules.
that is, to reliably filter beast list messages, you can use
the following rule:
:0 H :
* ^X-BeenThere:
beast@...
$MAILDIR/beast
i.e. every email to the list has a
X-BeenThere:
beast@...
header line.
