[Genode] Suggestion about mailing list subject

Hello to all.

I was wondering if it can be useful to configure the mailing list to
include on the subject (before the text) something like [Genode] or
[Genode-Main] . I know that it is easy to set a rule and folder for the
mailing list messages on the mail client, but in some other cases I like to
identify visually and fast the messages that are from this mailing list in
a group of mails.

This is just a thought, I don't know how hard or easy will be to configure
this on the sourceforge mailing lists.

Regards

Technically this is pretty simple by means of the Mailman
subject_prefix feature. I personally do not like all subject lines
written by users of the list cluttered with some prefix text. But, if
other members of the list also express their demand for this feature
and there's no overly resistance voiced I would enable it
nevertheless.

Hello,
Personally, I think this is very useful,
I receive mails from various mailing lists and this is the best way I can
distinguish at a glance the origin of the mail.
cheers

I personally let my mail client filter my mails by the destination
address into separate folders. This works fine for me. But if an
additional prefix is desired, why not.

Cheers,
Martin

I think that a prefix would be good.

Hello all,

the resonance on this suggestion was mixed and mild with no decisive
majority. Therefore, I'll keep the configuration as is for now.

The redundant information clutters up small screens and makes subject
lines difficult to read on mobile. I'm not sure what the problem is with
filtering messages for these folks.
