On many (I started to say "normal", but decided I was making assumptions about what was normal. :) ) systems, I bet it doesn't. However...I can relate an experience I had recently that may shed some light: I'm on a list that I'm way behind on reading. I thought to myself "how about I synchronize my Palm with that folder, instead of the "inbox", so I can have all that mail on my palm to read, whereever I may be?". Unfortunately, the list's [name] tag in the subject header made it impossible to read messages selectively by subject...because on the palm display, the only part of the subject that displayed was the [name] tag, or sometimes not even the whole thing. :) I think I'll go see if the list-processor supports configuring this on a "by user" basis. Both on this list, and possibly on that list. Hmm...That, and perhaps look for a different "mail client" for my palm. Hopefully it'll be free. :)
