As it happens, [ADMIN] tags are parsed by mailman down to just [AD]. For example, all the [ADMIN] messages in this thread have the topic flag (as added by mailman): X-Topics: [AD] Just like Jason's message with the subject: [AD] Classic 1929 Franklin project car In reality, there is no ADMIN tag.... just advertising. As a test, I have used the 'TAG' [OTxxx is off topic] to see what mailman makes of it, but, I am pretty certain it will come through with the tag X-Topics: [OT] For reference, "Funny NY" sent through a message a while back which arrived with the following headers: Date: Sun, 21 Oct 2007 09:07:40 -0700 (PDT) From: Funny NYPD Subject: Re: [EE] [AD][OT]CAN To: "Microcontroller discussion list - Public."
