It helps to know : if it's a request, pic, talk, etc. But they are in your face at the : beginning of the line. : How about if we put them at the end (except on long subject linss)? Well, Bob, how long is long? For the title of this original message, my newsreader clipped the '(question)' to '(questi'. I personally think that having the IDs, period, is good idea, but I think having them at the beginning is more natural than the end. Since most of us (or perhaps I should say all of us who read Western languages), psychologically, as well as, logically, expect to find classifiers or anything else on which we base a decision to be located at the beginning, that is, on the left. I might also add that I think having them in all caps is preferable to mixed case for the reason I find them easier to scan that way, that is, they seem to stand out more from the rest of the text. Just my thoughts. -- "..." <-- either an ellipsis OR a toothy Cheshire gila monster's smile(y)
