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].

Hello everybody,
after the automatic notice you should have received telling you that you have been subscribed to the new U-Boot mailing list, I would like to welcome you here, too.
From now on, the old mailing list at SourceForge should be considered obsolete. Please post new messages only to the new mailing list address:
Messages with just [U-Boot-Users] in the subject line implies it was handled by u-boot-users@lists.sourceforge.net. If this is the case, let the SF server handle the thread to completion! This is an implication of the sentence "Please post new messages only to the new mailing list address".
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. Should they be switched back to the u-boot-users@lists.sourceforge.net server or would that mess up the archiving of messages even more? I'm assuming that it is desirable to have complete threads on either of the two mailing list servers and not split threads between them.
Never send messages to both servers simultaneously. Everyone on the mailing list may get duplicate messages as a result.
Messages with only [U-Boot] in the subject line implies that the thread started on the u-boot@lists.denx.de server. The thread will stay on this server unless someone manually switches it to the old server or their mail client is severely misconfigured. Never switch a thread that started on the new server back to the old server. I have _not_ noticed this yet.
Please correct me, if I've misunderstood the transition plan for switching to the new u-boot@lists.denx.de mailing list server.
Sincerely,
Ken Fuchs
