As I said it was not necessarily to do mail filtering on the mail clients, but to separate email (in some even cases visually) that helps out people, a pure cosmetic thing.
I see the reasons on the w3.org website and they make complete sense, but in the other hand I don't see either that causing much issue. Is more as they say: "/because we would rather see effort invested in getting mail software fixed to do the right thing than provide workarounds that provide no incentive to do so, at the expense of users whose mail clients already do the right thing./" I think is over concerning with something that doesn't cause that much issue other than what is stated on the w3 website, maybe. In any way, thanks for replying and for providing the URLs as base. No worries as this will not change the propose of the list.
I am still reading my mail with a text only mailreader e.g. mutt. I have a 80x25 terminal typically - If you only add a "[bird] " so the subject line you are claiming ~9% of MY visible line-space. It might be that your Full-HD display with your graphical mail reader offers gazillion columns for subject but there are a lot of underfunded, underequipped people out there who like to preserve their screen space for more essential information than a simple marker. I read probably 80-100 Mailinglists and i have procmail to sort my mails into folder. Beeing in the bird folder will show me only bird mails - so there is no point in adding a subject-tag for me.
