It's not a problem of sorting, but it's related to how you work-out your
daily every-minute-mail.

I'd be happy to see a [Fedora] mark-up in the subject line, and I'll
explain why in a minute. As it isn't provided, I procmail it myself in my
mail, simply because I feel I _need_ it.

I don't like to archive everything; also, I prefer not to zap between
different folders; I just have a look on _everything_ is coming in;  
garbage is deleted instantly, important messages are read carefully,
things that I consider worth to keep as possible references or for another
look are going into their folders.

So not having marked the messages would be [is] annoying, as you simply
can't tell at first look if it's Fedora related or not. Letting everything
related to Fedora for some later reading-time isn't an option for me: I
switch between 'doing e-mail' and doing other stuff, there is no extra
time I'm willing to reserve for reading the Fedora folder.

Hope I was able to explain why, at least for people like me, putting an 
extra [Fedora] mark-up would be simply nice.

I'm able to achieve that by myself, but maybe not everyone has the time or
will to work that out, even if he feels the need to have subjects visually
qualified at first look, without the need to go through an extra folder.

Yours,
Iosif Fettich
