I agree. I would much prefer to see the list name in the subject line=20
because I don't know the names of all members of this list, and a=20
couple of times I've deleted messages that I then realized came from=20
the optacon list, because the subject line wasn't telling me where it=20
came from. Getting viruses is very easy these days. Also, although my=20
server has a good spam filter I keep getting lots of unwanted email,=20
and I tend to delete the messages that don=E2=80=99t have a clear subject l=
ine.
But I do understand the reasons for the opposit argument also.
