Why do we have this [Fedora-Desktop-List] tag on all emails? it consumes space and is unneeded. I now have to devote loads of space to the subject field :/
As for the excuse that some need it to filter, that's not really a reason, as there are at least two other things they can filter on, and it's easy in clients such as Mozilla Thunderbird, Evolution or even procmail/mutt.
The ONLY client not able to do this is MS Outlook in my experience.

I wonder if you need design... We can deliver design, in any fashion. I was also wondering why there is no design (database) on the fedora site... I don't see any nice pictures in the artwork area ;->

Yeah, its pretty useless, and something no other redhat lists use.

And please note that I run a rather high resolution to begin with. What about those @ 800*600 or 1024*768?

Because someone chose the stupid mailman defaults. IMHO it should be turned off like all of the other Red Hat lists. Failing that you can use a creative procmail recipie to automagically filter the thing out. Another possibly more effective solution would be to send a message to the list maintainer ask ask nicely to turn it off. Given that ALL of the other Red Hat lists have it off your changes of success are high. It was most likely an oversite.

Yeah, it was just an oversight. I pinged people and (as you'll see from the Subject: on your mail) and we got it fixed yesterday.
