   Here are the subject IDs and what they are used for.  The system is 
not perfect, but it does work.  This list is included in the FAQs and in 
the various welcome messages of the ASCII art groups.

     Line - Standard ASCII line art.  Line pictures and large lettering.
      GIF - Gray scale image.
Animation - Animation.  Usually uuencoded.
    Color - ANSI Color image.  Usually uuencoded.
      3-D - Three dimensional art.
   Binary - Binaries (software like Figlet and Gifscii).  Usually uuencoded.
      Big - Wider than 80 columns (and optionally, longer than 24 lines).

   Repost - Repost of a previously posted pic, not new art.

   It's good that people put an ID on new posts, but it would really help 
if everybody could update the subject line when following up a post.
