Having a little marker like [LIB] gets useful in those sorts of >situations. Of course 'useful' is not equal to 'critical' and if some of >you can't stand the extra 5 characters (or 6 counting the space) added onto >the end of a message then so be it ;-) > >- Raymond I can in fact see the usefulness of the marker there Raymond. Most of the time it'll work dandy. Once in a while it'll spill off the right side of some email reader's subject field... but that's not a huge deal. What is a challenge is when you go to, say the Compuserve Photography Forum and post a message. The Compuserve only let's you enter 20-25 characters for a subject. One place among others where too many characters poses more minor inconveniences.
