You don't need the subject line for sorting. I sort my mailing list traffic based upon originator's address and message text. Works great so far, each message from the list has the footer created by the list attached. I realize this is not fool proof, but then nothing really is. Every time something is thought to be fool proof, someone makes a better fool. Jamin W.

We want better subject lines, but we don't want help with the subject line. I'd love to have [RHL] as part of the subject line. So, even if the user says nothing, or provide nothing to help, at least you'll know it is from the list. But, I guess it is not to be :-( MB -- e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Bart: Hey, why is it destroying other toys? Lisa: They must have programmed it to eliminate the competition.
