I see no advantage in your suggestion. just search the subject.

As for the [***Spam***] that is inroduce by mail servers. A user should maybe remove it to avoid it. But a nuisance, yes, a problem no.

I would agree with the (no subject) or SPAM titles, but if your search tool can't tell the difference between "\column, Bug in - " - "\column, Bug in \column" and "Bug in \column" then you probably need to find a new search tool. I subscribe to the list in non-digest format, e.g. I get every email. I used to get it in digest, but I found that made my searching tougher. I use gmail and have all the list messages skip my inbox and go directly to a tag. This has helped a ton!

Hi Mica and Keith, Thanks for your reaction. It is informative to hear your opninon. I did not want to start a discussion -- it was rather a "cri de coeur" born out of frustration -- so I will leave it at this. Best regards, Robert
