Third time lucky :-)
But yes I see where you are coming from unlike John who must have his
binoculars the wrong way round or is pre-menstrual.
The point about downloading headers was to add weight to the argument.
I feel that subject lines should always be meaningful and concise out
of common courtesy to ones prospective audience but there will
inevitably have to be compromises from time to time.
I can recall several instances where a subject line has consisted of
the single word 'Help'. Certainly concise but is the poster requiring
or providing help and concerning what. A few extra details would
surely provoke helpful replies.
