Since a few weeks we get mails with just "[Website]" as subject.

Just one word is not really meaningful to classify the mail content

first view. So, I'm wondering from where they come from and how to
improve
this?


These probably come from the contact page:

http://www.openoffice.org/contact_us.html

ah, thanks.

See: For problems with the www.openoffice.org website, please contact
us via Development mailing list.

That page covers contacts for reporting bugs, website and wiki
problems, press, etc. But the very first link on the page is for
support. I assume it requires an advanced degree in psychology to
understand why someone would skip over that link and go to another.

Yes, especially because the hint with the dev@ link is one of the last
options. So, it doesn't make sense to exchange it with others in the
section as this would just move the problem to the l10n@ or bz@ mailing
list.

OK, seems to be the last remaining 2.5% that never can be improved.

Proposal:

Exchange the predefined mail subject (e.g. "[Website]") with a more speaking wording like:

"I want to report a problem with the OpenOffice website"
"I want to report a problem with the OpenOffice BugZilla"
"I want to report a problem with the OpenOffice Wiki"
"I want to report a problem with the Pootle translation service"

Maybe this will make it a bit more obvious for the user that her/his mail doesn't fit to the topic and could lead to think twice before hitting on [Send].
