Message subject change request
Hi all, As a fairly long time subscriber, I would like to suggest that users of this list put their distro and version number before the question ie SuSE 9.1:keyboard error, or SuSE 7.3:Upgrade path. When the mailing list receives it, it prepends [SLE] on the front of your subject line, so there is no need to add that. With the messages defined as above it will enable those of us who are perhaps still using SuSE 7.3 to filter the list output and trash those messages that do not deal with the distro number we are using ie 7.3/ Alternatively a list subscriber can keep certain posts ie on SuSE 9.0 only and junk the 9.1 postings, as SuSE 9.0 might be the next viable distro to upgrade to after 7.3. It will also enable thise in the know about the distro version specified to help the 'problematic' user. Good idea, bad idea, should I crawl back into a PSU somewhere, comments etc? -- The Little Helper ======================================================================== Hylton Conacher - Linux user # 229959 at http://counter.li.org Currently using SuSE 9.0 Professional with KDE 3.1 Licenced Windows user ========================================================================

Is there a real point to adding "SuSE"? Do you expect lots of "Red Hat" messages here?
I almost agree. However, it is not necessary to put "SuSE", only the version, since the [SLE] already indicates SuSE List English, and it's not likely someone would be posting a RedHat question here. This would seem to be a constructive idea, and I'm for it. (I hope I can remember to do so!) OTOH, I would hope that not all readers of the list, especially the most knowlegable ones, would filter out all but their own distros. Also, of course, whoever agrees with me, please do not filter out posts that do _not_ have a distro number! --doug On Wednesday 07 July 2004 12:34, Hylton Conacher (ZR1HPC) wrote:

:-) Not practical, unless there is an entry form for posting. Also, the fact that I'm now using 9.1 does not mean I can not answer questions about, say, 7.3; nor the fact that I was using 8.2 did not mean I was not interested in reading questions about 9.1 - to learn about my future problems ;-) . And even being a version I hadn't met, I could answer some questions, that were not really version related. -- Cheers, Carlos Robinson
