mailing list issues

[Dr. Martin Senftleben]

Hi,

I guess this has been discussed and I missed it, yet I would like to
raise these two questions:

1. Why doesn't the subject line any longer include the starter
"[digikam-user]?
2. Why is there no info about how to get to the mailman page in the
footer section?

Both are useful for handling: (1), because I can easily sort by subject
and know, which threads belong to digikam and then decide which threads
are worth keeping for future reference and which not, and (2) in order
to manage my settings myself using mailman.
Now my inbox is just cluttered with mails from the list without being
distinguishable easily from personal or work related mail, which
basically raises my stress level (need to be more vigilant not to delete
the wrong mails).
It#s enough if one knowledgeable person answers to these questions, wild
guesses aren't helpful.

Thank you otherwise for a wonderful software which I unfortunately can't
use much in recent months due to a heavy work load... :-(

Kind regards

Martin

Hi there,

1. Filtering by Subject is not a good idea, as people might forward that e-mail outside the mailing without modifying the subject, or the other way around, someone might send you a mail with that string in there (quite unlikely, but still possible). Filtering by "Reply-to" is much more intelligent, secure, etc.

2. I'm getting a monthly e-mail with all my settings for this mailing-list, administration URLs, etc, aren't you?

Lots of people *don't* like the [digikam-user] in the subject line
because they already sort mails (based on the sender) and the
[digikam-user] is simply wasted space which pushes the actual subject
off the display to the right.

Get your sort to work on the To: or From: in the header.

To be more correct/specific sort on Reply-to: or To: (From: is just
wrong!).  Reply-to: will work for most lists but possibly not for
every list, my filter uses To: and works pretty well.
