Shorten it or don't change it.... just don't remove it altogether. I am on several mailing lists and while I do filter things into different folders, it has always been easier if the subject contains a constant such as [Full-Disclosure]. I wouldn't say that it is strictly necessary, but it is easier when I am sorting through mail that has yet to be filtered.
Just my two cents.... Jeff Pickell On Thursday, August 21, 2003, at 04:48 PM, Shanphen Dawa wrote:
#1I know in sylpheed you can filter by some of the headers so a subject line is kind of redudant.Looks like this:List-Unsubscribe: <http://lists.netsys.com/mailman/listinfo/full-disclosure>,<mailto:full-disclosure-request () lists netsys com?subject=unsubscribe>List-Id: Discussion of security issues <full-disclosure.lists.netsys.com>List-Post: <mailto:full-disclosure () lists netsys com>List-Help: <mailto:full-disclosure-request () lists netsys com?subject=help> List-Subscribe: <http://lists.netsys.com/mailman/listinfo/full-disclosure>,<mailto:full-disclosure-request () lists netsys com?subject=subscribe> List-Archive: <http://lists.netsys.com/pipermail/full-disclosure/> On Thu, 21 Aug 2003 10:43:02 -0700 Chris Cappuccio <chris () nmedia net> wrote:Hey folks, ALL LIST MEMBERS ARE ENCOURAGED TO RESPOND AND MAKE A CHOICE AS TO HOW THEY WANT THIS BASIC FUNCTION OF THE LIST TO CONTINUE OPERATING. The subject header is going to change. This is a survey to see whether people want: 1. To have no subject prefix, that is, we remove [Full-Disclosure] or 2. To shorten the subject prefix from [Full-Disclosure] to [FD] or 3. Do nothing1. The first choice is preferable for me and, I would hope, for most folks. Len says he didn't really want it when he started the list anyways. So we areactually going to change it now.2. Choice two may be preferable for people who can only filter their incoming messages based on the subject prefix. So, if you WANT there to continueto be a subject prefix, SPEAK UP!!!3. Choice three sucks and if anyone wants this SPEAK UP so we know just how many people want this. This is the least preferrable as it clutters the Subject header and makes the list harder to read through for those of ususing a text based e-mail client. For those of you using procmail or a compatible filter, a good match for Full-Disclosure that relies on headers you will always see in list messages goes like this: :0: * ^Sender.*full-disclosure-admin@lists\.netsys\.com full-disclosure That matches this header: Sender: full-disclosure-admin () lists netsys com Alternately, you can tell your Pegasus/Mozilla/Outlook/OE/Whatever to match on this header. -- Nullum magnum ingenium sine mixtura dementiae fuit -- Seneca _______________________________________________ Full-Disclosure - We believe in it.
