Hi Jared, it's been awhile since I've posted, though I've been lurking for
sometime.
I definitely agree. I'm on some other email lists, some have 250+
messages a day. When you're scanning that much stuff, you really need
good subjects, and good editing. Ah, for the days when everyone used a
text-based email client, and were forced to do the right thing...
Reminds me of a story. Recently I got an email from a friend, which
seemed to have no indentation at all. I mailed back saying effectively, I
can't find your writing among the text. He explained, it's color coded!
He was shocked that my email client didn't handle HTML... text-based,
what's that?
