RE: Please title your emails

I have to imagine that many have to do what I do - search for old emails. Sort by sender, scan by subject. Then threads (related emails on a topic) are invaluable for tracking a situation. Then there's those black holes of email data that's lost do to the requirement of viewing and scanning the body of every email - when the sender by habit doesn't title the email. This is no rub on those that send emails that way - it's more an exasperation at losing information because it's too hard to find.

Within the past few weeks, I've noticed the spammers have taken to subjecting their emails "RE: " - surely a leverage against all the emails that float through because there is nothing to check as to the nature of the content.

Maybe it's like everyone filling up their tires. If we all just subject our emails, the world will be a better place.
