I think this is difficult to do since one question can cover many
categories.  And, for the newbie (like me!), it is hard to understand
exactly what we're asking.

Personally, I think the best thing to do is to remind people to keep the
subject relevant to the thread.  I.e., if the discussion changes course,
change the subject to something more appropriate.  The typical usenet
way of doing it was to take the original subject, say:

   Subject: my action form ate my dog

and replace it with:

   Subject: dog locked in basement [was: my action form ate my dog]

This, along with clipping your replies to only the important content can
contribute to a good signal to noise ratio for the archives.

My $0.02...
