Hi Robert -- It seems that posts with this kind of subject line are almost always a mistake, and the sender almost certainly intended to enter a meaningful subject line. I'm on another active email list that also offers a digest option, and I generally read it in the digest format, and more than once I have accidentally replied without setting a proper subject and felt pretty stupid afterwards.

Recently, the administrator of this other list set a configuration option to automatically reject any postings with an unmodified digest subject line. The result is that the sender gets a polite rejection notice and can then re-send the message with a proper subject. This saves the poster much embarrassment, and eliminates gibberish subjects from polluting the mail list.

Does the osg-users / osg-submissions email server have a similar mechanism for rejecting posts with unmodified digest subject lines? If you could enable something like this, I think most readers would be grateful.
