[comp.os.vms] Please use sensible SUBJECT fields and include KEYWORDS in subject.

MACALLSTR@vax1.physics.oxford.ac.UK (06/25/87)

This is a plea to all info-vaxers to specify sensible subject fields, where
 this is under your control, and to mailer managers to pass on sensible
 subject fields.

I find less than useful the following two subject fields
                                               ( Yes! Many messages have this! )
 and
       Submission for mod-computers-vax  
 .

To make life easier for users to file messages ( e.g. into appropriate
 folders in standard VMS MAIL ) the subject field ought to contain the
 principal key-words of the message.

This is simply a suggestion for sensible subject fields. I don't want to
 open the flood-gates for another discussion on VMS MAIL and digests,etc!
