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.
