Hello to all.
I was wondering if it can be useful to configure the mailing list to include on the subject (before the text) something like [Genode] or [Genode-Main] . I know that it is easy to set a rule and folder for the mailing list messages on the mail client, but in some other cases I like to identify visually and fast the messages that are from this mailing list in a group of mails.
This is just a thought, I don't know how hard or easy will be to configure this on the sourceforge mailing lists.
Regards
Hello Martín,

Technically this is pretty simple by means of the Mailman subject_prefix feature. I personally do not like all subject lines written by users of the list cluttered with some prefix text. But, if other members of the list also express their demand for this feature and there's no overly resistance voiced I would enable it nevertheless.

Hello, Personally, I think this is very useful, I receive mails from various mailing lists and this is the best way I can distinguish at a glance the origin of the mail. cheers

I think that a prefix would be good.

I personally let my mail client filter my mails by the destination address into separate folders. This works fine for me. But if an additional prefix is desired, why not.
Cheers, Martin

Hello all,
the resonance on this suggestion was mixed and mild with no decisive majority. Therefore, I'll keep the configuration as is for now.
