I second that! I filter all linux mailing lists into one folder and like that it shows which list is which. I hope this is retained. Scott

Actually, i would like to keep that because gmail filters only works by subject if I'm not wrong.

Gmail can also filter by e-mail address! That's how I use it. Cesar

I don't plan on doing away with it. It's been there for ages and is common on... well every mailing list I've been subscribed to.

Yeah, just keep in mind that to filter these lists you need to filter on the To address, not the From. These mails are "To: arch-general@archlinux.org", not from the list. They are From the poster.

Or you can filter on the Sender address. eg: "Sender: arch-general-bounces@archlinux.org"

i would vote for getting rid of the footer as well if thats an option. or at least shorten it a bit. its irritating when people quote & quote without removing it. Greg

Would it be possible to remove the [arch-general] prefix from the subject line? It seems pretty useless to me since there are a lot of other headers on which a filter can be based on. The same goes for the automatic signature. One gets the following headers:

How does it break GPG/MIME? Just curious. I don't really want to get rid of it, but I'd be fine with shortening it. I want to know if this is solvable too

How does it break GPG/MIME? Just curious. GPG/MIME encrypts/signs the WHOLE email. Subject, body and attachments and attaches this to an new email. Mail programm notices that and shows the attached mail as original mail.

Thinking about it - the footer would break only encryption - but not signing. (The sign is also attached as MIME)..

Um.. jeah

Here, with kmail and claws-mail, AFAIK signing is not broken by the footer. I want the footer to stay, cause it add a rapid link/way to go to the html archive of the list.

Man! Set a bookmark in your browser! ;) Anyway...what's the point of the footer? Anybody knows? If it's useless...we should get rid of it. Damnshock

Ok... well - how about this - I shut it off, as a trial, on this list. Anyone want to yell about it?

Well, sure looks much better that way. *thumbs up*

Yes, please keep at least one line that indicates the mailing list. It will look more elegant that way.

This thread is getting offtopic fast.

Locked.

.... owait....

Where did you hear me suggesting those? I never suggested logos or animations. A simple "ArchLinux General Mailing List" footer looks professional and is non intrusive.

Does it need to look professional? Or do we only need the list to be functional?

Well, I disagree. Many people have pointed it to be intrusive too ;)

Ok, I see it is a matter of taste so my opinion may be different than you. But if a 4 word footer is intrusive, then maybe signatures should be disallowed as well. No one really needs to know what company X works for or what his/her GNU/Linux registered number is.

I think that by "intrusive" people meant "breaking gpg signatures". If that's the case, I'm with them.

I may wanna know who the sender trully is, right? I agree that is many times not important but... it *can* be important. Anyway, the signature should be attached so it does not bother other people as for replying and, if you don't wanna check the identity, just disable gpg/pgp ;) Just my two cents :) Damnshock
