I would agree with the (no subject) or SPAM titles, but if your search tool can't tell the difference between "\column, Bug in - " - "\column, Bug in \column" and "Bug in \column" then you probably need to find a new search tool. I subscribe to the list in non-digest format, e.g. I get every email. I used to get it in digest, but I found that made my searching tougher. I use gmail and have all the list messages skip my inbox and go directly to a tag. This has helped a ton!
