Howdy All,

Anybody have an opinion on the necessity of continuing to have [Zope] in
the subject header?

Originally in the switch from Bobo-list to Zope-list and duplication of
messages it served a good purpose. The Bobo-list didn't and doesn't have an
equivalent [Bobo] prefix.

Most people have migrated to the Zope and the Bobo list is greatly reduced.

I have seen messages such as:
RE: [Zope] - RE: [Zope] -...

"[Zope] - " minimally consumes 9 characters. Add a "re: " and your upto 13.
This has caused some subjects to be cut.

Is it still desired?

I know this isn't any over-my-head-technical-subject but, any opinions?
