I thought that it might be good to post the GML Codes or Threadmarkers once
more.  I have started a GML Folder where I keep the GML Codes, Charter, and
the original letter subscription letter...   This way I can do a quick check
for the right code, until I get it straight.  As you will see according to
the Charter the code is to be added at the end of the subject line.  I have
been adding it at the beginning and end both, since long subject lines are
quite often cut off on OE.  Is this a problem for the majority of people
too?  Or would adding it simply at the end be good.

*****
Mails to the list should show headers coded to indicate their content as
follows (Use one code only, at the end of the subject line, try and choose
the most appropriate):

:B for breeding discussions that are less genetics intensive and cover more
stuff like how to get a pair to breed, what groups are stable for breeding,
etc.
:C for general care, feeding, housing, bedding, etc discussions.
:G for long, "alphabet soup", genetics discussions, although the :G and :B
discussion may overlap sometimes.
:S for information on gatherings and shows.
:Z for zoological and scientific postings that do not fit into any other
category, for example behaviour or ecology.
:M for meta discussion, ie discussion on the group itself.
:$ for selling gerbils, wanting to buy gerbils or related information.
:I for this is completely irrelevant and "we're just babbling" discussions.
:E for this relates *only* to exotic species of gerbils.

SOS:  If your post concerns an urgent matter of life and death for which you
need an immediate reply then start the subject line of your message with the
letters: SOS. Please only use this for genuine emergencies.
