That way no one has to remember any special :Subjects and it would be easy enough to do (just CC that address when you :send in a patch). : Upside: no non-Patches would show up, trivial to maintain : Downside: if you don't remember to send it there, it doesn't get : added Downside: lazy/ignorant people don't remove Cc: lines so you get lots of followups which aren't always relevant, and you can't just weed out messages which reference other valid patches because they may be patches too. Then you get lots of people who won't put proper Subject lines on when the topic changes. :If it was deemed better to use a certain Subject: header such as PATCH that :would be fine too : Upside: only have to remember one address : Downside: have to remember the right Subject header -- Geoff Wing [mason@primenet.com.au] Phone : +61-3-9818 2977 Technical Manager: PrimeNet Computer Consultants Facsimile: +61-3-9768 2909 Web: Mobile : 0412 162 441 [ Boulderdash: ]
