Not to get too far off topic -- but I've always been able to filter based on
any header line. For example, all vectorlist posts have this header:
Sender:
which makes the VECTOR: in the Subject redundant, at least for filtering by
a program.
This is a common argument on any mailing list. People using Unix accounts
and procmail or Eudora on Win can't understand why the Subject: LISTNAME is
necessary, and people with other programs can't see the hidden headers.
On the other hand, if the people who wan to filter can do it on the Sender:
line, I would personally love to see the Subject: LISTNAME go and get more
usable Subject space.
