Re: M| Motion to use prefix to categorize messages and threads (Robert's Rules of Order over Email)

I do not support this and would actively block it from becoming a Policy. 
Using codes in a human-readable area (the subject line) is not 
user-friendly.

The words used in the subject are usually a good enough indication of what 
it's about and whether it would be be interested to you.

For example, the word "review" is good enough to indicate a message is 
reviewing something. This is intuitive for authors and already widely used 
on public-html. It is more user-friendly to read "review" than to read "R|" 
and look this up against a glossary of codes.

As long as people use descriptive subject lines of short or moderate length, 
that is fine for me. This is what Participants are already doing, happily.
