Dave and all,

I have been trying for weeks to find a way to sort these messages in the 
Netscape 7 version of Mozilla Mail. Nothing has worked. Adding a 
consistent flag to the subject line like [cygwin] would make the sorting 
trivial. If it took the list administrator 15 minutes to make this 
change, it could save the list users many man-years of effort trying to 
make the filtering work in their email clients.

Thanks,
Jim
