Too true - I am, as many others, a member of a number of mailing lists. If
the world were a perfect place ... ;-D ... all mails could easily be
sorted, byt subjects looking like this Subject: [list] interest.
Unfortunately, this isn't so. World just ain't perfect.
Every so often you'll get a "Subject: [list] Re: interest", which will be
sorted by Re instead of interest. And although most of us have
English-speaking programs, some have native-language programs which might
write "Subject: [list] Sv: Re: interest", thereby sorting it under Sv
rather than interest.

I truly appreciate the IR list _not_ having prefixes - makes it all so much
easier!!!!

Thanx!

Siri.
