Sooo, if I talk about my airplane with the M-14, the proper title might
be: "Yakchang". But if someone puts a Chinese 400hp into their Yak, then
the subject line might be "Nanyak"? When Terry Lewis asked for help with
his gear problem the proper title might be "pneumatic procedures CJ6A".
When in formation the line might be "pneumatic formation procedures
CJ6A"....but the same problem in Goolsby's plane might be "pneumatic
formation procedures CJ6B"

Gee Craig, you are clever. Almost as clever as me! Let's form the clever
people prefix for our discussions.
I was trying to find a creative solution to people wanting to be able to
sort through their mail more quickly. You can make up any prefix you
want. People will look at it and probably understand. The more
information up there the easier it is for someone to decide whether to
read or hit the delete key.
But if you are talking about an M14 it doesn't matter if you have a CJ
or a Yak. Put [M14] in the prefix and others interested in the specifics
of the M14 will have a clue that they might be interested in reading
that message.
The key point is that the subject line is there to help the reader know
what she might get when she opens the message. Right now there are about
three different discussion threads going on under the topic of "Radium"
and "Going after overzealous Feds". I know that none of the current
threads have anything to do with Radium or Feds overstepping their
authority at this point.
