I realize it is easier just to hit the RE:MAIL or RE:ALL (or equivalent) button when replying to a post, but that can cause problems because it generates a Subject line starting with RE: that may not reflect the content of your message. For members of the regular mail list, your message may be about something entirely different from what the current Subject implies. The situation becomes worse if you are on the Digest list--the Subject generated looks something like "Re: OREGON-TRAIL-D Digest V00 #xx" which is meaningless to most list members. Always look at the Subject line before you SEND. If it is appropriate, leave it alone. If, however, it does not tell in a few words what your message is about, please take a moment to retype it. Think of the Subject as a headline that will make anyone who has an interest in your subject take a look. Thanks, Jim
