Are you saying that the subject line should be changed to include "Text Detective" so people wanting information on Text Detective could easily find it in the future? If so, I went ahead and added that to the subject line, but there's no reason you couldn't have done that as well Jon! *smile* This is not a serious complaint or criticism, but just a gentle nudge.
Also, although it's true that "Text Detective" wasn't in the subject line, "OCR" was, so I think most people looking for information on Text Detective would still stumble across it, but thinking about good subject lines is a good point. I was looking through my folders on posts concerning GPS apps, and I definitely appreciate good subject lines!
