This means that you'll see the delete confirmation whenever you
wish to do a delete operation deemed 'dubious'. Still in contrast to a
popup message that appears *only* when you fail to do the right thing. :)
Perhaps I should say 'fail to do what you should' rather than the
right thing because I know of no rule where you must include a subject.
Netiquette guidelines do say that you should:

usually appears automatically. You just need to fill in the "To"
line (with the recipient's email address) and the "Subject" line
(with a clear and concise description of the subject of your
message)." </end quote>
A reminder is not not a foofie from this POV, since it's courteous
to include a subject in 99.9% of instances, you may break threads without
it. I have no problem with it. :)
