If it's not too much trouble, could I ask the moderator to please
change the "presentation name" of this list?
DocBook Mailing List <docbook-tools-discuss@sourceware.cygnus.com>
This isn't the "DocBook Mailing List", that's docbook@lists.oasis-open.org.
This is the "DocBook Tools Discussion" list or some such...
Be seeing you,

While we're at it, a bracketed subject prefix would be nice, i.e.:
[DTD] Subject here
It makes life easier for those of us who manually read through our
mails each day. It also makes it a little easier to set up sorting
filters in most email programs.
Thanks,

I counted about 8 lines added by the mailinglist software. Should be
enough for half a dozen filters.
And I don't like to waste Subject line space to mailinglist info. Iy
usually becomes messy as soon as you respond.

This is my last message on this subject. If you want to reply to
me, please do so privately.
Re: line space: it's 5 characters. Most of the lists I'm
subscribed to (mostly Open Source projects) have some such prefix, and it
really does help. It helps me, anyway.
Second: Mailman and Majordomo both support the idea of a prefix;
i.e., the prefix is not added on every time somebody replies. The prefix
will only appear once for each message. On all the lists I maintain we
have a prefix, and nobody's complained about them.
Obviously, it's always up to the list maintainer, I was just
throwing the request out there.
