[p2p-research] p2presearch Digest, Vol 19, Issue 153

[Michel Bauwens]

Hi Marco,

This suggestion could perhaps be solved technically by our list moderators
Kevin or Ryan, though I'm not sure of the benefit of moving that tagline in
the subject heading, I've personally have seen it on every mailing list I'm
on:

<Secondly, this list already has the [p2p-research] string in the
subject, which creates no problems to me but isn't really necessary.>

Second: if you want discipline in the subject heading, why not create a set
of volunteers, who would adapt the subject headings manually, since people
usually click reply, once corrected, it would continue ... Everybody could
do this job say for a week, so it wouldn't be much of a burden,

Michel
