maintenance request was Re: International Space Station in cross-band repeater mode!!

[Samudra Haque]

Hi, may I ask who maintains the tacos at amrad.org mailing list ? I am
having a difficult time in sorting through the incoming e-mail
messages from the tacos mailing list, as the subject header doesn't
include a common entry like most mailing lists on the internet, such
as:


[TACOS] Re: International Space Station in cross-band repeater mode!!

This is great, since then we can set various e-mail applications to
sort the incoming mail according to the subject header, and then also
to differentiate the Tacos/Amrad mail from the other junk mail that
arrives in the mailboxes ?

Just a thought!
