Actually, this is one of the new features available to CONCH-L list
subscribers.  You each can turn this feature on or off just like you can
turn the mail on or off.
 
send an email to the listserv program at:
  [log in to unmask]
 
in the body of the email message put the command:
  SET CONCH-L SUBJ
 
From then on the subject lines will begin with the following tag:
  CONCH-L:
 
(To turn it back off you would send the command: SET CONCH-L NOSUBJ)
 
If your email client (the program on your computer) has "filters" you can
set the filters to sort your email into different directories (or folders
on a Mac) according to their "Sender: " header.  This header line always
says: "Sender: Conchologists of America List <[log in to unmask]>".
How you set the filters  (or if you can) will depend on the email client
you are using - and for that you will have to read the manual that came
with your program.
