That's exactly what I said. :) You're perfectly free to do whatever you want to with the messages you receive and record somewhere. It's *your* data when you're the terminal station.
It's just that I don't allow a list admin (read: a transporter) to fiddle with the user supplied data (subject fields, reply-to fields, from fields, etc). And I get especially upset about this mangling when it causes some kind of information loss or causes me and other recipients extra work although there's no (real or sane) reason to cause this trouble.
Regarding the "marking the list articles with a prefix in the subject" -- there are already nine(!) other pointers in the
None of which the brain-dead email client that I have to use at the office will filter on. I'm lucky to get it to work on "Subject:" I can use Subject, from, to, cc, reply-to, in-reply-to, recipient, and all. It doen't allow for "and" or "or". Just one of the above exclusively. But then again if everyone would put the list in the "To" field instead of cc'ing the list it might make life a little easier. End of diatribe!!
