[Qt] subject tags


Message 1 in thread

Hi guys,

Just subscribed to this list and I notice there's no tag in the subject. 
Would it be possible to add something like the suggested "[Qt] "? I read a lot 
of mailinglists and find it a good way to identify mails, I believe this is 
just a setting in many mailinglist apps.

Cheers,
Robert

In most mail apps you can filter by the To field. Just filter by
qt-interest@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx It seems to be working pretty well for me.

Or use List-Id header.

Yes I know, you can filter, and use various other tricks.
But it does not work for me, it's hard to learn old dogs sit.  
Besides, adding something like [Qt] isn't that persuasive.

Filtering Emails using their headers is no "trick", thats basic email
handling.

I hope you are aware that you did not point out any valid reason to add
such a tag, except your own laziness. 

Anyway, this discussion is totally useless, if you want to have this tag
ask the list administrators. I'm not sure how to get in contact with
them, but I guess with a nice mail to TT you could find out.

;)

Actually this isn't my regular platform, I'm a kmail kindaguy.

Anyway, I really didn't want to come of as being disrespectful and  
arrogant. It was a friendly request, most MLs I frequent do have a  
tag. If it's hard to add and/or not wanted I can live with that, but  
without asking nothing happens.

Regards,
Robert

No problem ;) People at TT are always open to suggestions, and I have
seen such tags on other mailing lists, too.

Then again these tags come probably from the days when installing mail
filter rules was a bit harder than nowadays. And sometimes I like to add
my own "tags" such as [Qt3], [Qt4], [OT] (off topic), [Ann]ouncement
etc., and something like [Qt][Qt4][TM][Hype] becomes a bit unreadable,
no? Okay, just joking...

Cheers, Oliver

Ok, in this case: 

if you are using POP3 or local mailboxes go to Settings, Configure POP 
filters, add a filter that looks into "X-Mailing-List" (you can even select 
it from that nice drop-down) whether 
it "contains" "qt-interest@xxxxxxxxxxxxx".

If you are using IMAP, go to the Sieve filter editor and add a rule like 
this:

if header :contains "X-Mailing-List" "qt-interest@xxxxxxxxxxxxx"
{
        fileinto "INBOX.qt-interest";
        stop;
}

Could it be any easier?
