I read the first draft of this document, and wondered: Does this propose to change IETF behavior on list management, so that the name of the list (usually same as working group) is not put in the Subject: using the feature of mailman that does this? When it was just a draft, it was just speculation. Now that the IESG is considering this draft, I want to ask: Is that what you have in mind? I think having the IETF list traffic have the solicitation class keyword marked appropriately is a good idea. I think having every email program on the planet become capable of filtering on this keyword is a good idea. I think having every email program on the planet become capable of displaying this field when it is not empty has some value, but I'm not sure what the tradeoffs are when the display is small, as on a PDA or mobile phone. However, until we get the latter two accomplished, I want the list manager to mark the Subject: with the name of the list. I don't know about you, but what I have today (very popular email program from a gigantic company and very cool cellphone/PDA combo thingy that works pretty darn nice for email) WILL NOT WORK WELL FOR ME if Subject is not marked. One does not have filters, and does not have a way to display an arbitrary header field. One has filters, but I don't see a filter mechanism for "Solicitation Class", and I don't see that key word in the fields I can display, although there appears to be a way to define your own field so maybe that would work. Dunno, but unless it works at least as well as marking Subject, I don't want to get rid of that feature. So, I ask that the author of the draft state his intentions with respect to IETF list management, and that such an intention form part of the consideration of the IETF on what to do with the draft.
