This is good Steve. I totally agree with you and you have
successfully converted me to your POV on why the subject reminder message
is not such a good idea. :) The reason for this is based on your two
points above which I had overlooked. One is that threading may be achieved
without subjects. The next is that you mentioned a few pointers on how to
properly compose an e-mail message to minimize annoying the recipient,
that to me, is far more important than including or leaving out a subject.
BTW: Although the RFC was good information, it was a refute to a point I
didn't make. I specifically said that the subject inclusion was not a must
and that it was proper. Netiquette guidelines instruct you on what you
should do, not what you *must*.
The next thing is that Forte' Agent is not an application dorks and
morons, OK? I have many reasons for saying this but this is not the forum
for it.
