This is essential, and many of us would not be able to subscribe to
low-volume lists if they didn't identify themselves in the subject of
their mail. The other option is to post-process the subject through
procmail in order to munge the subject myself, but then my replies look
odd, and I have to make an extra effort for every list.
The same with reply to -- some of our lists mangle the "Reply
to" so
each reply goes to the list. Others (like this list) don't do that.
That's really really confusing and annoying.
Reply-to munging is a matter of the list policy. Many lists prefer that
threads not migrate off-list by accident. By setting a reply-to, the
risk becomes private messages going to the list. Some list admins prefer
it that way. I'm actually on one list that combines the worst of both
worlds: no reply-to change, and the list will bounce any mail that
includes any other To or Cc targets :-/
I think it's time for a general Fedora mailing list policy so
all
(most?) of our lists use the same behavior.
Hrm... The Fedora mailing lists are probably too diverse at this point
to impose anything that sweeping to all of them.
