Re: List-email Suggestion

[Cameron Horsburgh]

Please don't do this.

I use gmail on my iPhone which has precious little screen space.
Prepended list names just push the subject off the screen, so I'd be
left with lots of messages titled (in the case of this thread)

If we need to add the list name, at least add it to the end of the
subject. Surely the regexp you filter on can handle that.
