I disagree, since the subject line is not meant to be a mile long and have the whole query in it. I would contact the poster and ask them if they can please post their query using a better format --example subject: John Doe b.1825 IN d. 1875 OH then they can put a query in the correct spot and give the details and what they are searching for more info on. And to be sure to include the LAST NAMES that are in the message in the SURNAME box with the commas........teach 'em nice and they may appreciate it.
