| Sorry! Couldn't resist. ;-) |

| I had a guy working for me who used to write the whole bl**dy email in the |
| 17 |
| frigging Subject: field! Arrrrgh! When I asked him why didn't he use the |
| 18 |
| body of the message like 'normal' people do, he argued that he intended |
| 19 |
| saving me the time of opening the message to read it. Sometimes you just |
| 20 |
| can't win. |
| 21 |
| |
| 22 |
| Anyway, as others asked - how long is too long for this purpose? |
| 23 |
|
| 24 |
LOL! On another list once, someone posted the whole message in the subject |
| 25 |
line, and again in the body of the message. It was an error, and he |
| 26 |
apologized, but your story there reminded me of that... |
| 27 |
|
| 28 |
IMO, I haven't seen too many overly long subject lines, but I have seen several |
| 29 |
overly short ones. There has to be a Happy Medium (tm) out there. Once we |
| 30 |
find one, we can just ask our questions of her... lol! ;) |
