No, not all mail programs are able to sort incoming messages from the
"from" address. My is able to, usually... except that some people seem
to
use strange versions of the "to" address, or something - a few list
members (always the same ones - I'll try to remember to tell you who you
are the next time you post) fall between the sorting mechanisms.
Because of this, I'd very much like a [GZG] header. The other mailing
lists I'm on do this automatically (...OK, it *does* look a bit strange
with [Chipco] Re: [Chipco] Re: etc, but most of the time it doesn't go
that far <g>), which is a great help - because people do forget. Jon
(W.), can the FT list server do the same thing? That leaves only the
specific headers to us (and our faulty memories)...
