Hi Zoe,
This is helping a bit, but in my Thunderbird this reply is still in the 
thread "[css-d](no subject)", which is growing to a kind of list in the 
list ...
http://home.tiscali.nl/developerscorner/css-discuss/images/no-subject.gif
And "attract the right attention to the thread" doesn't work if I don't 
click to open the + of the (no subject) thread first. (Yes, this time I 
did it, but not always. ;-) )

Maybe a solution is to get the topic out of this thread by opening a new 
topic with the right subject (this way removing the build-in css-d 
Thread Reference code); and then paste everything in the new post. Then 
other people then the sender are doing the correcting work ...

Or maybe a solution is to automate a bouncing answer to the "no 
subject"-poster as "We are sorry, this post could not be recieved in the 
css-discus list because you did not fill in the subject line in your 
mail. Please sent it again with a subject [1], then it will be admitted."
Seems a bit unfriendly, but on the other hand it is not very polite to 
send mails without a subject  ... [2]

Anyway, I don't think the list moderators are the problem owners! :-)

Greetings,
francky

[1] "Some hints for a subject: don't describe it in general as 'help 
needed' or 'strange things happening', but try to specify as 'IE drops a 
div' or 'problem with Suckerfish' ..." / or something like that can be 
added in the bouncing mail.

[2] Can be by accident too, but a forward of the old message with a 
subject line is easy made.
