Some lists use a system I recommend, which is to modify the subject line but include the former subject.
Example: Subject: [Elecraft] Best Listserv Practices (was: Changing the subject line) And with respect to changing subject lines, I sure appreciate people doing that when replying to an item from a Digest. There’s no subject line less useful than something like this: Subject: Re: [Elecraft] Elecraft Digest, Vol 124, Issue 10 73, Lew N6LEW On Aug 21, 2014, at 2:10 PM, Fred Jensen <k6...@foothill.net> wrote: > I've gotten several replies to the question, and based on the answers they're > from people who know.

A string of threaded emails where > the subject says nothing about the content isn't real useful. ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:Elecraft@mailman.qth.net This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html Message delivered to arch...@mail-archive.com
