Re: Subject prefix changing! READ THIS! SURVEY!!

[Jeff Pickell <jkp () xionic net>]

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....
