Would it be possible to have the mailing-list server embed the name

that way....
Interesting that the list should start with such a basic yet mail
related question. I for one vote against this since in longer threads
with different MUAs involved subjects might become quite ugly, e.g.:
[mail-ng] Re[1]: [mail-ng] Mailing List
[mail-ng] Aw: [mail-ng] Re[1]: [mail-ng] Mailing List
Most email programs are capable to filter using To and From addresses.
These are better suited for sorting. Not all mail clients are able to
use regular expressions to clean up such mangled subject lines.
While we're discussing trivialities: I suggest (if the mail list
handling software is capable of doing this) that the Reply-To header
be set to the list address to avoid discussions going off-list
involuntarily.
I'm looking forward to many insightful exchanges.
Regards,
Markus Gloede
P.S.: Is there going to be a list archive? If yes, will personal email
addresses in the messages be obscured?
