Hi Howard,
Just as my Subject would indicate I would like to request a change in
procedure.
PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE (picture: little kid wanting a lollipop) can we
make folks put a subject in the message before it gets to this list?
Keeping track of what [Moderated] thread you may be interested in is
nearly impossible. And, searching for one you know was solved even
worse!
I would think it would be even better to make them sign up to the
list, however, considering the overwhelming desire to help, (so
speedy, and frequent that it makes me wonder what, if anything, some
of you do for a living besides this list!), that may not be a perfect
idea. So, if we could at least have a subject line that gave some
clue about the message, that would be wonderful.
While I agree this would be desirable, the source of these [Moderated]
messages is the contact page of the OOo website, where the "How to use
the OOo suite" link is mailto:[email protected] with that subject. I
guess the expectation was that users would add something to the tag to
describe their problem, but as we all see that just doesn't happen. The
issue is that as long as we use a standard mailto link which then opens
whatever mail client the user has, there's no real way of forcing the
inclusion of a proper subject. We would need to have a form to build the
mail for them or something to that effect.
And I'm afraid that even then some would leave the subject blank, not
being sure what to put in.
