Is it possible to stop the repeated addition of RE:[listname] to
the
front of the subject title everytime it is answered? just
leaving
one? (even with all my reminders people still forget to get rid of them!!)
Yes; check the FAQ for a recipe that will do what you want (you
want to
only re-munge the Subject: header if [listname] doesn't appear in
it
already...trivial, really).
Might seem trivial to you Charlie but to me its so difficult I had to ask here!!! Could you point me to a part of the FAQ...I have been through a few and have not seen anything that has helped me to get to the answer...(Could be the wrong FAQ's, but more surely my lack of knowledge rather than the information not being there!)
As regards your opinions about munging I'm sure you are 100% right in cursing it, a massive proportion of people use unmentionable email clients that dont do what they should, and people dont/wont change ....they dont care ...they just want to recieve and send mail without reading manuals I have tried moving the mountain...but with very little luck....there are more than 2000 people on this list ...people come and go daily, trying to educate them is less fun than banging my head against a brick wall!!
Best wishes to all David
