Adding "ADS" to all list messages

[Jesse Sheidlower]

This question comes up from time to time, and has again.

The ability to add the list name to message subjects is
configurable by the user. If you _want_ to have "[ADS-L]"
appear in the subject of all list messages, you send the
a message containing:

  set ADS-L subj

to the address

  listserv at listserv.uga.edu

If you have trouble with this, you can ask me to do it for
you.

You can then set a filter based on this in most mail programs
in order to put these messages into a separate folder.  (Of
course, you can also set a filter based on things that already
appear in ADS-L messages, e.g. a "From" value of
"owner-ads-l at LISTSERV.UGA.EDU"; in other words, adding "ADS-L"
to the subject is most useful as a visual clue to the contents
for people who don't otherwise filter their mail into
folders.)
