Many of you have noticed that all of the mailing lists at suse.com have changed to using a new mailing list software. We did this for a number of reasons. The new software is significantly easier and both makes administration easier for us and using it easier for you.

It also seems like it is A LOT faster than the old one. When I send to the list now, I get the mail back in less than a minute. That's impressive indeed, since it is actually sending it twice instead of just once. ;-)

Many of you have expressed concern about rules you used to use to sort mail now not working anymore because of changes in the Subject: line or other changes in the headers.

It is reccomended that you sort mail not by the To:, Cc: or Subject: lines but rather by the X-Mailinglist: line. Every message sent to you by our mailing list software for the suse-linux-e list will contain this line:

X-Mailinglist: suse-linux-e

We will continue to add this line no matter what software we may use now or in the future.

That is very nice for people who have that option. Unfortunately, I don't. I can ONLY sort by From:, To: and Subject:.

If you have any questions about the list or suggestions, please send me email at jerdfelt@suse.com

If you decide to change the subject line in the future, please tell us in advance, so we can have our filters set up correctly before you change it.
