Subject: [ruby-talk:6318] Format of Subject line.

Hi.

It bugs me that my first posting to this list is going to be a
complaint. Human nature and all that, or maybe it's just a bad
morning :-)

It's just the subject lines that the mailing list software generates.
It bugs me that the first several bytes are completely useless
tracking data.  And some replies double, even tripple the problem.
The meat of the subject line to be shifted right so far that it
gets trimmed by my (and perhaps other) MUA.

If the tracking data has to be there, can it be put on the right
end of the subject line?  Or like many other mailing lists I
participate in the subject line itself is kept pristine and any
tracking data is stuffed into another header.  And don't give me
the folder sorting excuse.  I'm sure that any MUA that can sort on
subject can also sort on To: and Cc:

Thanks for reading my rant. I'll shut up now.
