Having [clojure] in front of the subject obscures the subject with redundant information. It's wasting valuable space at the front of the subject line that could be used for, well, the subject, which I'm actually interested in.
The mail is already from clojure@googlegroups, to clojure@googlegroups, and reply-to clojure@googlegroups. I know mac products are designed for non-technical people and leave out most common options, but can't they do something so simple and 1980's-esque as filter on a field other than subject? I've been using gmail and have had a rule for the clojure group since I signed up. I expect most other folks are likewise all set. No need to inconvenience the N>>1 people who chose to use superior technology. -----Original Message----- From: Brian Marick <mar...@exampler.com> Sender: clojure@googlegroups.com Date: Sun, 17 Jun 2012 18:32:33 To: <clojure@googlegroups.com> Reply-To: clojure@googlegroups.com Subject: Re: meta-questions - [clojure] in front of Subject line On Jun 17, 2012, at 6:22 PM, Phil Hagelberg wrote: > Have you considered a more capable client? My client is OSX Mail. I don't think it's a marginal client. What inconvenience would users of more capable clients suffer if a "[clojure]" were added? Given that the change to Google Groups is ~3-click (I've done it numerous times), which makes more sense: * that 1 person adjust the group settings * that N>>1 list recipients adjust their clients ----- Brian Marick, Artisanal Labrador Now working at http://path11.com Contract programming in Ruby and Clojure Occasional consulting on Agile -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Clojure" group.
