I , too like seeing the surname in the subject.....I would rather have 10 posts each with 1 surname than 1 post with 10 surnames in the subject.....I can usually only read the first 2 or 3 if I am lucky so then if I want to know the other surnames I must open the mail.....and considering I am on 3 heavy mail lists and a few other lite ones I have a lot of mail but only a little time
