Hi, all. List-admin hat is on.
Mailman2, which this list is using, has a feature where you can add
"topics" to a list. They are reflected in the subject of the message,
and you can choose through the web interface to subscribe only to topics
you are interested in. You set the topic of a message you send through a
header in your email (or a pseudo-header in the first couple of lines of
message body).
I haven't enabled this feature because this is, so far, a pretty
low-volume list. But I'm wondering if markup language discussion should
be split off from protocol discussion so that people who are not
interested in that discussion can skip it. It would also be possible to
set up topics for software announcements, client/server development,
etc.
Let me know if you're interested or opposed.

Maybe if this list gets 100+ messages a day, then it might be worth it. Now? Not so much. -spc (Once was on a list that hit 500+ new messages in a single day)

I agree with the others so far, this isn't yet necessary - but good to know it's possible in case it one day becomes so. -Solderpunk
