Hi,

this is a nice but not very new idea. 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...

Cheers,

Detlef
