Re: Use Clear Subject Headings

[Marilynne Smith <mrsmith -at- CTS -dot- COM>]

I agree.  I subscribe to too many lists (my problem, I admit) and I can't
possibly linger over every word of every posting.  Instead, I follow certain
threads and skip others.  It helps if I can tell the topic of the e-mail.
I'd like to add to Tony's suggestion:  Please don't modify the topic
slightly. I use a sort function to help organize the topics.
