Didn't work in other list. What will happen: a typical subject line will look like this after a while: Re: OT list comfort (was: ML, was RS, was: Where Angels Fear To Tread) The only way is to accept all postings, get a powerful mail-software or split this list into 4-5 different list... But will splitting this help us? No - since most of us are interessted in MC, ML, RS, PD and specialy OT we have to subscribe to all list - same problem as before... It's like the old wallpapers - you have to walk along the whole wall to read all the interessting posts... Also the different categories will produce additional traffic to the list (like this msg) - all the newbies will have to send at least one mail asking for the secret code...
