Mac OS X Mail.app does indeed allow filtering by addresses, etc. Nonetheless, for some people and some workflows (including me any my workflow) it'd be helpful to have a textual marker in the subject line. Not a huge deal, for me at least, but it'd be helpful (and consistent with most or maybe all of the other lists to which I subscribe). I know that this has been discussed and rejected before, but in case there's more openness I thought I'd chime in. And point out that this doesn't have anything to do with my software's filtering capabilities. Is it possible to set this up on a per-user preference basis? That way the people who find it wasteful and redundant could leave it off, while people who find it helpful could turn it on... I don't know if googlegroups supports this. -Lee -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Clojure" group.
