This new mailing list without the spam is great, but the “Re:” gets moved
so that my mailer (Outlook Express) does not group the replies with
the original message, as it does for other mailing lists I subscribe to. For
example, in replying to this message, my subject is:
“Re: [ntdev] NTDEV and NTFSD Now Hosted by OSR” but when it comes back it will be
“[ntdev] Re: NTDEV and NTFSD Now Hosted by OSR”.
Can this be fixed?
Thanks,
-DH
