Steve,

Good habit!  But in Mike Kinnear's case he was actually trying to send a listserve "command" and sent it to the list instead of the listserve.  Even then I usually include the command as the Subject just so *I* have a clue later.  No doubt you've noticed the minor flood of listserve commands (including SIGNOFF and LOGOFF) being sent to the discussion list instead of the listserve address itself - probably few of us enter listserve commands on a regular basis so it's easy to explain the high tide.

But the idea that a "Subject:" be required or the note be returned with an explanatory message is a good one.  No doubt in Dan's copious free time he'll look right into that.  Now if he could programmatically confirm that the subject and the note text match , and make sense for subsequent searching... :-)

Re: the subject line






Hello. Could you guys (and gals)  please include subject lines?  I've made it a habit, for a long time now,  not to  open any email that doesn't have a subject line.

Mr. Moderator, is there a way you can require that the poster have a subject line and if not, don't post the message?


Thanks,

Steve G.
