Re: [Evolution] Announcement: this mailing list will be retired by the end of Oct 2022

Pete,

That's about correct, and I see where that can be seen as a limitation. You can only filter by category in the way that you're mentioning AFAIK. One way would be to include an [Evolution] or [$APP] tag in the subject line and filter by that but that'd require instructing users to do so, not particularly feasible. But that's definitely a good point.

So, the emails from Discourse come with a category label, not a tag
label. i.e. the emails have a subject of "[Applications] ....".  There
doesn't seem to be any indication in the headers of the Tag(s) that
caused the notification email to be sent.

If someone is interested in more than one Gnome application, as far as
I can see there's no way of filtering the two different "lists".

Is this correct or am I missing something?
