I'm not going to vote either for or against subject line prefixing,
but I would just like to point out that many of us have no way to
do any mail filtering.  Not everyone in the world uses PC's and
Mac's.  The other third of us use Unix workstations (from Sun, IBM,
etc.) and we don't have many options with mailreaders.

If anyone has heard of any mailfiltering programs for Solaris, please
let me know.

Thanks

Andy
