I should stay out of this thread, but I can't resist here... :-)
Although I'm against adding the prefix to the subject line, I'd like
to point out that at least one major contributor to Subversion (Greg
Stein, who wrote the first networking layer and much else, and was
instrumental in getting us to 1.0) reads all his mail in one big
folder, just as it comes in, with no filtering into subfolders.
He's very responsive to email, and I've never noticed him having a
problem managing his inbox.
I'd go crazy if I tried to read mail the way he does, though.
The lesson I take away from this is that everybody does things
differently, and that's fine :-). It's just that in this particular
case, anything anyone might want to do can be done entirely on the
client side, since all the necessary information is in the headers,
and that way we don't take valuable subject-line real estate away from
posters and readers who would prefer to have the maximum available
space.
Can't believe I posted again, have a nice day everyone! :-)
