This would be unheard of, George. I communicated over
the past 2 decades with more than a dozen discussion
lists and never never succeeded to get people
literally - W R I T E - in a Subject line. "Reply
button" it is, no matter what they write about. It is
already far far away from the original 'subject', but
the line stays for a good reason: good old laziness.
Just push the button and write. I am guilty of it
myself as well.

Your suggestion implies carefulness, maybe even in the
unimaginable way to mark the topic one is writing
about.
(To show the 'other side': I was scolded once when I
wrote in a subject that it will mess up the archive
search for not tracing back the post to its origins.)
But 'everything' has at least two sides.

Thanks for introducing such revolutionary ideas!
