Jim, I couldn't agree more.
But it seems as more and more listowners are giving in to those
subscribers too lazy to use real filters.
Odd, the more sophisticated mail-clients become, the more lists we
get with crippled subject headers.
It will be a cold day in hell before I mutilate the infrared list this
way.
Time to invent some additional mail-software to strip those darn
prefixes again, so that I can read what the message is about.
