1. Get a threaded mail client, it makes all the difference. If it is a good one it can even keep track of a thread that changes subject lines willy-nilly like this one.
2. Learn how to use your mail client. It can do most of the tedious stuff for you including never showing you threads you are not interested in, and moving all PDML messages to a separate folder when they come in.

I would be in favour of keeping them in upper case and at the front of the subject line. That way they are easily visible. At the end of the subject line makes them disappear completely when a subject line is long in the overview of emails.

email. I would like to make a plea for something else: don't use the PAW or WOW prefixes at all.
I would like to make the opposite plea: please use the PAW and WOW prefixes, they are only 5 characters long (incl colon and space) but help me and other filter such messages to folders. I have no objection to the following though:
1. write them in lower case - this would mean they don't dominate the rest of the subject line
2. put them at the end of the subject line - when the eye scans a list it needs some variety at the beginning of each line to rest on and navigate by. The prefixes make this very difficult*.
Thanks, Kostas
