Then perhaps both of your should do something about it. When you see these
uninformative subject lines, change them and send in a response when you can
with a more meaningful subject line. Instead of asking people to do it, show
them why it is better by your example.
And while you are at it, make sure that you CC the original poster (OP) as
well. After all, what good does it do to post an answer to a question to the
list when the OP is not subscribed? I learned to CC unsubscribed posters by
the example set by others. And I have had people to email me asking me why I
did this. When they learned why and how, some of them have begun doing the
same thing.
