#344 broken "subject prefix" for messages from the epel-announce list
Closed: Fixed by tdawson. Opened by decathorpe.

Reopen Issue

Apologies if this has been reported before, but I couldn't find references to it.

It looks like the "subject prefix" for the epel-announce list is EPEL-ANNOUNCE, which breaks threading in email clients - since emails get sent out getting with mangled subject lines like EPEL-ANNOUNCERe: <original subject>.

It should probably be [EPEL-ANNOUNCE] or even [epel-announce]? (Yes, the trailing space is intentional!)

Thank you for reporting this.
I have fixed it. It is now [EPEL-announce] (with a trailing space)
That makes it the same as [EPEL-devel] (also with a trailing space)

Metadata Update from @tdawson:
- Issue close_status updated to: Fixed
- Issue status updated to: Closed (was: Open)

Awesome. Thanks for the fix! Making it the same as epel-devel makes sense.
