Subject line tags in the transition to the new mailing list server:
u-boot-users@lists.sourceforge.net generates [U-Boot-Users]. u-boot@lists.denx.de generates a [U-Boot].
That's intentional, as the new list's name is "u-boot" (and not "u-boot-users" any more. I felt the "-users" part was wrong, as this list is at least as much intended for developers.

This is not necessary. Threading should continue to work even when you continue on the new list. Same holds for the archive, I hope (but this has not been recovered yet).
This is an implication of the sentence "Please post new messages only to the new mailing list address".
Actually it means what it says.
Messages with both [U-Boot-Users] and [U-Boot] in the subject line implies it was handled by both by u-boot-users@lists.sourceforge.net and later handled by u-boot@lists.denx.de. Such messages should have stayed on the u-boot-users@lists.sourceforge.net to completion.
NO, this should be avoided. Please STOP posting to the SF list!
Never send messages to both servers simultaneously. Everyone on the mailing list may get duplicate messages as a result.
Do not send messages to the old list any more, please.
Best regards,
Wolfgang Denk
