Thanks

Hi!  I have a suggestion that I would like to make about the mailing
list.  I'm subscribed to several Ubuntu mailing lists and I also like to
use a message filter to put them in a separate folder instead of having
all of them go to my inbox folder.  I've noticed that the Xubuntu-users
list adds a [xubuntu-users] to the subject line.  Is there any way that
the same can be done with the Ubuntu users list?  by doing so it would
make setting up a message filer in Thunderbird so much easier and reduce
the possibility of messages from one list going into another lists
folder.  As it is now I've had to set up several conditions to keep the
Kubuntu Users list separate from the Ubuntu user list.  In fact if all
of the mailing lists did this that would be great, as then it would make
it so much easier for a novice Ubuntu user to set up a message filter.

I think it would be a great idea.  Many of the mailing list groups I
subscribe to have this features.  My only recommendation: keep the
subject stamp long enough to be meaningful,  but otherwise as short as
possible.

thanks,

You are going to generate alot of pro and con commnets! :)

I filter using the recipient field (ubuntu-users@...) -
in Gmail; I have never used Thunderbird but it must be possible too.
And I could filter using the subject if this change were to be made.

I used to feel the same as the op.  However, it's pretty simple to
create a thunderbird filter by the List-id header, which removes any
guesswork and saves the precious space in the subject line display.

Indeed, lists that include [list_name] only serve to encourage my
laziness and *not* filter them automatically.

I'm also against it. For me, it just adds additional noise to each and
every email subject title which isn't needed and gets in the way.

Each mailing list uses a different from address, or id as you say, so
just filter on these instead ?
