Hmmm,
I am wondering if running this e-mail thread is adding a couple years worth of
6byte additions to the subject.
Seems silly to me - I prefer lists to do this - makes many peoples life easier
- doesn't make anyones life harder (and frankly if 6 bytes is going to blow
your bandwidth budget - you have worse troubles than this proposal)
Please consider this as someone who thinks it is a good idea because some
people want it - regardless if they can jump through 10 more hoops and get the
same functionality with filters (on what ? - I hate it when people bcc: mailing
lists and you loose the from/cc field containing the mailing list you are
filtering on) - procmail (oppps what about the people that don't use that, etc.

Why such a war for just 6 characters, while all mailing lists do it?
Have you been out there?
Let's give it a try and see...
Cheers

would it be asking too much to add [ietf] to the subject line of each

yes. it's completely redundant information, and it interferes with
readability,
particularly on small displays.
why don't you get a better mail reader that lets you classify mail as it
arrives?
that is a much better way to distinguish one list's traffic from another.
