The mailing list for listmasters using Sympa

[Olivier Salaün - CRU <address@concealed>]

Hi Peter,

I understand that don't want to use automatic tagging as it stands 
because you could have errors or it would oblige you to add this to a 
visible part of the message.

We could do is make Sympa recognize a X-Sympa-Topic SMTP header field 
(or something more standard if any) to tell Sympa what topic should be 
used. If sympa happen to find this header field it would skip the normal 
tagging process. Would this meet your needs ?
