Hello friends,
This is a rather mundane list question but I'm wondering if anyone can
tell me how I can get the OST prefix to return to the subject lines in
the emails that come to this list? It used to be there and I could
organize them in my overflowing inbox easily. Now they are not easily
trackable. Is there a way to turn that back on? I thought it was
something the list admin did and not something the individual does.
Is there a list admin on this list or someone who knows?
Would be greatly appreciated :)
Thanks to everyone on this list for everything you do,
gratitude
Sheri
