Subject Lines (was Re: Mopar Red's 1962 Dart) [Admin]

["Gary H." <spigot2039@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Thanks for the reminder Tom. It is important to match the subject with the body of the mail.

Generally is is always better to use a subject that closely matches what you write in the body of the mail. Otherwise the message often goes unread, is misunderstood, or is misfiled by people who sort the mail by subject before they read it.

Thanks,
