Hi,
On 2008-02-05 07:35 Yaakov Stein said the following:
I assume that others have come across this problem as well,
but I haven't seen anything mentioned about it on this list or the IETF
sites.
I receive over 500 non-spam emails every day (peaks can reach 1000).
These include emails from about 15 IETF lists,
about 25 other standardization lists, some 20 lists on technical topics,
multiple internal corporate lists, (and even a few emails sent only to
me).
The only way I can deal with this load and maintain my sanity
is by using a large set of sorting rules.
I have quite a few rules dealing with IETF emails that all worked well
until the transition.
...
I've found over the last ~5 years that the most consistent header on which
to sort is the X-BeenThere: header, which always reflect the list address,
without any other arbitrary junk around it (which unfortunately isn't true
for the the List-ID: header, which has text which may arbitrarily be modified
by a well-intentioned human, making it in practical experience a bit
unpredictable for sorting purposes).
So far, all of my IETF-related MUA sorting rules, which use X-BeenThere:,
have continued to function perfectly across the transition.
Henrik
