Re: DOCBOOK-APPS: Automatically added subject prefix

/ Kalle Valo <Kalle.Valo@hut.fi> was heard to say:
| Does the prefix really have to be there? And if yes, may I ask why? [1]
| Can I disable this feature somehow?

It's a "feature" of the list processing software. A dubious feature at
best.  I suppose I could see if I can get it turned off. (It's never
bothered me enough to go digging.)

Anyone want to *keep* the feature? (Private replies, please, this is OT.)

| Or can I use my Gnus to send 'DOCBOOK-APPS' string from Subject to
| /dev/null? Any Gnus gurus around?

I'm sure you can use gnus to do it. And I'm tempted to figure out how,
just so I know. But not today.

| Please, don't kick me out of this list because of this rant :)

Nah.

| [1] I'm pretty sure that someone will answer that it's for

Yeah, but it may be that some goofy mailers on, uhm, other operating
systems aren't quite so feature rich.

                                        Be seeing you,
