Winnette, I agree! This is a very good practice. New members will get more out of the group, if they provide this basic information in the subject line. If there are no names in the subject line, I will not open the mail. Someone will miss some chances to get an answer to their questions. The subject line should show a names and a dates.

It would also be a good idea when posting a query to not only give a name but an approximate date and location of the individual. Asking someone if they had records on a John and Mary Smith.... well, that could be anyone, anytime or anywhere. Precise information is not essential but at least enough to search on.
