Hi Stephan,Looking at our mailman instance it does appear to support topics. The technical process of adding them looks to be relatively simple. There's a flip side which is it will also require updating our community policies for posting, including educating our users how to use topics effectively, both as posters as well as subscribers.I personally have never used topics on a mailing list and don't know best practices and how they will effect the community. There are several important decisions such as what are the choice of topics. Also decisions to change topics in the future may require anyone using topics to log in and update their subscription settings which suboptimal, since it looks like if you select to subscribe to specific topics everything else gets dropped. Similarly there are statements in the documentation about messages being sent not being delivered to the list if not categorized.If you'd be willing to put together a more complete proposal and possibly link to some resources for people to learn about mailman topics. That will make it clearer to the community what the implications would be, and that would help us find a path forward.TullyOn Tue, Aug 25, 2015 at 11:45 PM, Stephan Opfer via ros-users <ros-users@lists.ros.org> wrote:My original idea, was to suggest, that the list admin presses 3 buttons and enters some topics. That alone would change nothing for anybody, except for those who don't want to receive certain topics. They could make the list not even deliver the mails to their mail-server, in order to save resources like memory, traffic, etc.
If it is not that easy, as I thought, I will create local message filters, which delete certain topics.
So @listadmin: Please just give me feedback on that.
Greetings,

The OP was about adding topic prefixes, e.g., as on the
robotics-worldwide mailing list,

There is no need for a new account, etc.
