Re: Message Header

["Mike A" <mikes dotnet blueyonder co uk>]

Paul, like you I too am a "lurker". I wholly agree with your comments.

Separating mails into folders works but for people like me who are members
of several technical forums it's a pain to go hunting. I like to see my
mails on the day they arrive and in one place, recognise the value of each
immediately, delete those I don't want (most!) and store the rest for
reference and write ups. I've probably deleted quite a few dia mails as spam
simply because without the list tag they appear to lack relevancy when
looking at 500 or so tagged mails received each day.

Adding a [dia] list tag would follow what seems to have become a list
standard.
