alerting people clearly. Obviously it's screwing up many people's filters.
then your filters were set up wrong. You sohuld have been filtering on List-ID all along, since that's what it's there for. Filtering on to/from is incorrect, so saying we shouldn't break it is also incorrect.
Personally, *my* filters were correct; I'm having no problems.
It's just a general good idea that when you change things, you should let your users know of the changes. I agree that filtering on To/From is not idea, but many people do not know better. Many people are used to other list software that has nothing like List-ID, so they're forced to filtering on To/From.
One of the rules of effective system administration is to not piss off your users. I was just trying to remind people of this! You can be a BOFH in private, but that attitude doesn't work in real life.
