Hey folks,

ALL LIST MEMBERS ARE ENCOURAGED TO RESPOND AND MAKE A CHOICE AS TO HOW
THEY WANT THIS BASIC FUNCTION OF THE LIST TO CONTINUE OPERATING.

The subject header is going to change.

This is a survey to see whether people want:

1. To have no subject prefix, that is, we remove [Full-Disclosure]
or
2. To shorten the subject prefix from [Full-Disclosure] to [FD]
or
3. Do nothing

1. The first choice is preferable for me and, I would hope, for most folks.
Len says he didn't really want it when he started the list anyways.  So we
are actually going to change it now.

2. Choice two may be preferable for people who can only filter their
incoming messages based on the subject prefix.  So, if you WANT there to
continue to be a subject prefix, SPEAK UP!!!

3. Choice three sucks and if anyone wants this SPEAK UP so we know just
how many people want this.  This is the least preferrable as it clutters
the Subject header and makes the list harder to read through for those of
us using a text based e-mail client.

For those of you using procmail or a compatible filter, a good match
for Full-Disclosure that relies on headers you will always see in

list messages goes like this:
:0:

* ^Sender.*full-disclosure-admin@lists\.netsys\.com
full-disclosure

:0:

* ^List-Id: .*<full-disclosure.lists.netsys.com>

Would probably work better.


Also, if the subject prefix was changing, I would expect to hear it from
adminsitrative staff.

That matches this header:

Sender: full-disclosure-admin () lists netsys com

Alternately, you can tell your Pegasus/Mozilla/Outlook/OE/Whatever
to match on this header.
