I think what Maxim was alluding to is that any decent email client will
sort messages for you based on headers if you set it do do so. This way
you don't need to scan your entire inbox for messages from a particular
list and the "assumed context" can be a somewhat safe assumption.
As an alternative, use a mail-server which supports server-side
sorting.
For example using Sieve.
Sorry; I didn't think my suggestion would be all that controversial.
As a data point, I checked through my email archive for Mailman-based
mailing list messages which had or didn't have a [listName] subject
prefix:
- 2288 messages with a [listName] subject prefix
- 20 messages without a [listName] subject prefix, of which 15 were
nginx postings
I can't believe that you've got what looks like 2000+ emails hitting
your inbox each day and you're not using anything to filter them into
folders.
I've got to the point now where I perhaps have 3-4 emails a week into my
inbox but 1000's scattered into various folders for mailing lists and
even down to certain people having their own filters.
Personally I don't mind if the subject has the mailman [listname] or
not, as long as there's some way for me to filter it.
Filtering into folders also means I can choose when I want to look at
certain emails. I may want to read one from my accountant, about my tax
return, before scanning through the kernel mailing list or nginx for
example.
So, omitting the prefix is an unusual choice, but if it's necessary
then that's fine.
Thanks for responding,
Dan
