[Elecraft] A heartfelt plea (Actually two)

[David Orman]

For exactly the reason you mentioned, people need to learn to filter based
on message body, not just subject.

"It has been asked time and again for a very simple reason but indeed it
seems to be too difficult to comply for some..."

People are wasting time trying to enforce 'rules' on a mailing list
regarding product information in the subject, unless they are moderators
and willing to start dropping messages that don't fit. I truly don't
understand the effort expended in this thread over something solved by
adding filters into mail clients/mail servers to sort
KX3/K3/PX3/P3/KXPA100/K2/K1/etc into individual folders if it really
matters that much. An earlier example was given on how to filter based on
list, just add a body filter and you can have mail sent to whichever folder
you want based on content. Short of an official rule that is ban-hammer
enforced regarding subject lines, that's the best you are going to do. I
have to be honest, this is starting to sound like the local HOA, and there
is no reason for that.
