I want to add, that=20

1) some mail programs format headers in way that other readers display=
 looking like grabage.  (I.e My old Eudora don=B4t display 8859-15 OK.)

2) Some mail service in the mail route will chop off the last chars of=
 subject, so it might get throug wrong; worst case a missing number, or=
 negating word...!!

(  That said, we sometimes write the whole msg in the subject, like=
 "Lunchtime!"  Don=B4t tell me we should repeat that in the messge body ;) =
 )


>If I'm going thru messages
>sequentially, I usually don't even look at the subject line.

Well, *I* certainly do primarily look at the subject line, and i think it is=
 very important to build a subject line that is a nice essence of the=
 message so it can conveniently and swiftly be scanned by the thousands of=
 people recieving the messages.

Talking about designing a subject line, i think this thread need a new now,=
 but i=B4ts in the middle of the night here and my brain has already...=
 Zzzzz
