TechWhirl (TECHWR-L) is a resource for technical writing and technical communications professionals of all experience levels and in all industries to share their experiences and acquire information.
For two decades, technical communicators have turned to TechWhirl to ask and answer questions about the always-changing world of technical communications, such as tools, skills, career paths, methodologies, and emerging industries. The TechWhirl Archives and magazine, created for, by and about technical writers, offer a wealth of knowledge to everyone with an interest in any aspect of technical communications.
I would disagree with this request. When I've been out of the office
for a day or two (or even a weekend) I can have 80+ messages that
haven't been read yet. Without the [listserv name] in the subject area,
I can easily sort the incoming mail by subject, see the original and all
answers to a specific issue and either read or delete the messages. By
adding the listserv name, everything from TECHWR-L will now be together
without any respect to the remaining subject category. This means I
will have to pick and choose from all the TECHWR-L mail to get
everything on a single subject.
By having TECHWR-L in the TO: area, you should be able to easily
determine how to handle.

Subject: [TECHWR-L] formatting suggestion
I have a suggestion for this listserv...
I've come close to missing a couple of very large contracts because I
couldn't differentiate between potential clients' messages and those
from
this list. Now I love reading the messages from this list, but I need
to be
able to distinguish what comes from here easily.
On my other listservs, they use a subject line format as displayed
above:
[listserv name] subject
The listserv name is inserted by the program before posting to the list.
