Weren't you ever instructed on the proper etiquette of email? I'll give you a hint, it's not significantly different from standard postal mail, and you don't write "HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" in postal mail without looking like a jackass. This is particularly important on mailing lists, becuase people often ignore or respond to mail based on the subject. Whenever possible, the subject should be a description of the problem at hand. After all, isn't that what "subject" means? -- Andrew Hesford ajh3@chmod.ath.cx Fighting the good fight for email etiquette... since today.
