From mboxrd@z Thu Jan 1 00:00:00 1970 Date: Mon, 29 Jan 2018 16:21:37 +0100 From: Solar Designer Subject: list name prefix Message-ID: <20180129152137.GA21423@openwall.com> Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Disposition: inline To: kernel-hardening@lists.openwall.com List-ID: Hi, Even though at least per my Twitter poll most people prefer mailing lists to introduce [list name] prefix into message Subjects: https://twitter.com/solardiz/status/957692620477779969 I am going to disable this for kernel-hardening on Kees Cook's request. Kees' rationale is "to avoid making grumpy maintainers even more grumpy", referring to the annoyance the [kernel-hardening] prefix is causing to Linux kernel subsystem maintainers receiving messages via other Linux kernel development lists that kernel-hardening messages are commonly cross-posted to. Because of the common cross-posts, kernel-hardening was already configured differently from other Openwall mailing lists - it didn't set the Reply-To header to the list. Now it'll also differ in its non-use of [list name] prefix. I hope we can live with that, even though personally I found that prefix convenient. I am posting this primarily in case some of you were filtering by the [list name] prefix, so that you know why your filters break. If so, please filter by the List-ID header instead. Alexander
