Filtering debate

[Bill Drew]

I would like to make some suggestions about handling this discussion.
How about starting each subject line with "filtering:" so that those of
us that want to delete or process in some other way the filtering
discussions could do so more easily.  Here is an example, many e-mail
programs (Netscape e-mail, Eudora, Pegasus) have ways of setting up
rules for handling messages.  If the "filtering:" text was consistently
in each Subject line then I could set up rules to route the filtering
discussion to a folder or to the trash.  Any thoughts?  I already use
rules to eliminate messages from specific individuals.
