Subject Headers

["Al Powell" <APOWELL@agcom.tamu.edu>]

Group, I'm not sure how much we would benefit with more specific 
subject headings, but I will share experience with you.

In the Datsun/Nissan Z-cr list to which I also belong, we use the 
following subject note preceding the text in the "Subject" line:

Examples....
<Z> 240-Z series, 1980-74
<280> 280-Z series 1975-78
<ZX> ZX series 1979-83
<300) 84-89 300 Series
<All> Pertains to all cars - things like radar detectors, speed 
limits, antifreeze, oils and filters, tires....other non-model 
specific posts.

I could easily see us preceding our subject line text with such items 
as.........

<4K>
<5K)
<100>
<200>
(80>
<90>
<S4>
<All>

and probably, <Bob> and <BZZZZZt>, some of which would at least 
indicate the specific car (or standing joke) we are addressing.

I'm not lobbying for this, but if the discussion proceeds, I thought 
I could at least offer it.  It's pretty easy to deal with and does 
make scanning messages easier, especially in the digests.

Enough fer now...
