Hi Joan, Thanks, I will do that. Maybe I need to clarify my statements a bit. I'm all FOR proper subject lines and have tried to get my posters "online" with that. It's just that with all the discussion about them, at least on the ROTH lists, I found it odd that a majority of the proper subject line posts didn't fare as well as some of the "improper" ones. I found one vague subject line on my FUREY board that had 19 hits! So I didn't change it. Many of the ones (only 8 found) I did change on the FUREY board are ones where the email address given was not current. I tried asking the posters if they would agree to my changing their subject boxes and my queries bounced. If their board posts had one or two reponses, I changed the subject lines on those as well. It looks like posters aren't doing subject specific searches and are browsing each board post by post. Which seems to make proper subject lines redundant. However, I will continue to urge my board and list subscribers to "do the proper thing"...at least it will make it easier for the researchers who are doing subject specific searches. One question about sending Plain Text messages: Does that mean that Italics or any other text tweak will cause a problem? Lynne asked if I posted my Jan 19th ghost-post in html. (it didn't make it to the list). I never use html in my email posts. Though I may have used bold text (it's easier for me to read). But it didn't show up blank...it didn't show up at all...no posts were posted on the 19th in the archives. I've got a copy of it in my Sent file. Regards, Paul
