Is Jenkins back in the subject lines you receive? I am still not getting it in mine (see below: your subject line says Jenkins IS Back, not [JENKINS] Jenkins IS back, which is what is used to say before the recent server glitch. It may sound childish, but to those of us who gets dozens of emails a day, it makes things very much easier if we can look at the subject line and see which surname is relevant. It's a small thing for the listowner to do and it makes for a more efficient list. The original request for a return to the old designation would have never been posted to the list if we had known who the list owner was....we would have made our request directly to that person.
