Looks like my lists are correctl prepending a TAG to the subject line when configured to do so.
But it looks like when people respond to email, mailman doesn't bother to filter out the old occurances of the TAG. So in other words:
Someone sends an email to the list titled 'foo'. List gets subject 'TAG foo' Someone responds with 'Re: TAG foo' List gets 'TAG Re: TAG foo'
etc.
Is this correct behavior? Am I missing a config switch or something?

This is a bug. I seem to remember a patch being posted quite recently for this. Check the archives.

Hi Clark,
I believe that it's in the latest CVS development tree, so you can follow the pointers to it from
http://www.list.org/if you want to get it that way.
Alternatively, you can search through the archives through the python.org search engine at
http://www.python.org/search/It's *usually* pretty good at picking things out, but I do have some posts that it won't pick up no matter what. :)
Since the Subject: of the original patch was kind of misleading, here you go:
http://www.python.org/pipermail/mailman-users/1999-June/001464.htmlThat has the fix for your problem.

This was one of them... had no clue what to look for.

Perfect.
Many development groups have a "patch" list, where you include an attachment with the patch and the body of the mail describes what the patch is for. This type of list is always valueable.
This is the first resource that I looked for, but it was missing. Will Mailman be adding a patch list?
Thanks!

There is a Mailman Developers list and a CVS update list, which you can find links to at www.list.org.
