Message-ID: <3541@saturn.ucsc.edu> Date: 1 Jun 88 11:56:16 GMT Sender: usenet@saturn.ucsc.edu Reply-To: dennie@venus.ucsc.edu (Dennie Van Tassel - Computer Center) Organization: University of California, Santa Cruz; CIS/CE Lines: 19 I am trying to write a list of guidelines for Subject headings in electronic mail. Here is my list. Does anyone have suggestions, additions, etc. 1. Subject lines should always be used. 2. Questions should end with a question mark. 3. Humor should be clearly labeled. 4. Flames should be clearly labeled. 5. Replies should be marked different than original messages. 6. The subject line should provide enough information so the reader can decide when he/she if/when they want to read the mail message. 7. The subject line should provide enough information so the reader can find the message in a large mail box. What did I miss or what should be changed?
