But you don't see the unsubscribe part unless you open the email and
having to open an email from someone you don't recognize is scary these
days.=20

Subject: RE: list name as part of subject
I agree with Don about the list subject issue. Anyone wishing to know
what list has sent a message needs only to look at the sent-to field to
obtain that information. In addition, many have a line at the bottom
giving instructions for unsubscribing which also identify the list.

Subject: list name as part of subject
This question seems to come up periodically on most lists. On those
lists with the name as part of the subject, people ask that it be
removed to get rid of the clutter and the repeat of the list name with
each message in screen readers.
The lists which don't have the name in the subject get complaints
because the individuals aren't always sure which list a message is from.
So, the bottom line is that you can't please all the people all of the
time.
This list, along with many others does not have the list name in the
subject. Since I purchased a braille display a couple of years ago I've
really learned to appreciate not having the list name present as it
significantly reduces the amoung of scrolling you have to do in order to
read a subject line.
For those who want to find a better way of grouping and identifying
messages, try looking at the options in your email program. Virtually
all mail programs today have some means of filtering and sorting
messages.
It's easier to track messages if you filter them into separate folders
for each list you subscribe to for example, and also you can sort
messages by subject which makes following a thread and responding much
easier.
One disadvantage of including the list name as part of the subject is
that it often becomes difficult or impossible to sort messages by
subject so it really makes better sense to encourage users to start
using message filtering and leave the message handling to each
individual so that it can better fit their personal needs.
Thanks for your attention, and I hope this answers the questions
concerning this topic.
