Subject Header adds [libreoffice-users]

#1

Hi;

I use evolution as my email browser. With mail coming from the
LibreOffice users list [libreoffice-users] is tacked on to the subject
line. In Evolution with side by side panes it makes the suject heading
too long to read. None of my other mailing lists gives me this problem.
Is there away to stop [libreoffice-users] from being inserted/added.

With mail coming from the LibreOffice users list [libreoffice-users] is tacked on to the subject line.

The mailing list processor doesn't add the label more than once, of course; otherwise subsequent replies would accumulate multiple labels. So the interesting paradox is that the one message to which the label was not added was your present one!

Is there a way to stop [libreoffice-users] from being inserted/added.

I hope not. The solution, of course, is for all such labels to be as short as convenient. Perhaps it could be "[LO-users]"?

Consider yourself lucky: I'm a subscriber to "[HounslowCentralNorthandEast-Freecycle]"!

I trust this helps.

I'm reading the lists via news.gmane.org (in a newsreader). Gmane drops the list name from the subject line.

Hello Brian,

labels. So the interesting paradox is that the one message to which
the label was not added was your present one!

What paradox? The OP wrote it as part of the subject. The list
processing software is smart enough to detect that and didn't prep-end
it as a result. I'm no fan of subject tagging(1) myself, but I use an
MUA that can filter such tags out so I'm not, usually, aware of them.

(1) List-Id is a far better header to filter on, since using the
subject tag _can_ result in private mails being organised in list
folders if the sender doesn't remove the tag.

What paradox?

That the only way to prevent the list adding the label was to include it yourself! And that the only messages not getting the label added by the list processor are the ones discussing why it always happens! Perhaps you didn't see the amusement in that ...

Exactly. Wasn't it clear to you from what I wrote that I appreciated that?

Tone of voice is difficult to convey via the written word. As a result
misinterpretation is understandable.

Oh, indeed!

Quite so: no criticism intended.

Hello Brian,

It's okay, Brian; I seem to have suffered a brief sense-of-humourectomy
at the time I wrote that. Sorry.

I have six other major mailing lists that do not tag the subject line.
I find there is enough information for me as a reader about which
mailing list. Evolution has enough information from the sender to sort
into proper message folders. I had hoped this tagging was a feature I
could turn on or off.

I will see how I might make a RFE.

Hello William,

If you're the list owner then yes, you can turn it off. However, if
you're a subscriber only, then you're stuck with whatever behaviour the
list owner deems appropriate.
