llvm dev - Jan 2013 - [LLVMdev] ANNOUNCEMENT: Removing list prefix

I will be removing the list prefix "LLVMDev" from the subject line. If
you are filtering by this, please use the list headers instead.

If you have any questions, please let me know.

Thank you,
Tanya

What is the reason for this?  It makes it much harder to skim down emails in the
inbox and see which ones are related to which list.

Sorry, I need more caffeine this morning. Correction!  I meant to say that
I'm removing [llvm-commits] only from the prefix and LLVMDev will stay for
now. This is just a notification to the LLVMDev list.

Thanks Tanya, this makes the subject lines of the commits a lot more 
accessible.

What are the exact list headers that match the lists correctly?

Just matching the list addess in to or cc field does not work as it has the
following problems:
1) bcc would still not math the filter
2) both copies of a reply that comes to both own address and list would match
the list filter.

Please let me state my opinion against this change.
Due to the heavy traffic on LLVM mailing lists, one needs some kind of 
filtering to keep only the relevant emails in the inbox.  Since my ISP's 
email server doesn't support any server-side email filtering, I used to 
filter the e-mails visually. It was easy to ignore emails with the subject 
prefixed with LLVM or cfe (or both).
Right now I can only see 200 emails in my inbox and I cannot distinguish 
between them.

I personally also preferred the file names in the subject, since that 
allowed me to visually filter the commits in my areas.  However, if we all 
start prefixing the commit messages with the area (as some already do), this 
problem is gone.
