Dear all,
Considering all complaints about the difficulties to find, in the Garden, or in the NTG mail archive, answers to specific problems, wouldn't it be a good idea to ask everybody to clearly state the subject of their message, preferably starting with the most important keyword, and in particular to avoid (no subject) or [***SPAM***], and similar things as subjects.
Also, if you forgive me, subjects like "upto current" or "Bug in \column" are not really helpful when on tries to search in the archive for a solution to a specific problem. In the last-mentioned example, wouldn't "\column, Bug in - " or even "\column, Bug in \column" be better?
More specific subject titles in the mails might save some of us hours of unfruitful searching and lots of teeth grinding.
This is probably not the first request on this topic but, if so, I thought it would do no harm to repeat it.
Thanks in advance.
Best regards,
Robert Blackstone
