There are existing conventions that have developed over the years, which should be adopted instead of inventing new ones. However, I don't think all the types you suggested actually need any kind of maker. People should generally just use clear and concise subjects that that convey the core topic of the email. > • "M|": Motion (an actionable motion requiring a seconding email and > then subsequent discussion; within the same thread and using the same > subject) I don't think that needs a marker like that. Though I'm not sure what kind of email that is. Could you point to some examples of that type which have been sent to public-html before? > • "R|": Review (a detailed review of the draft or portion of the draft) I would prefer the markers to be readable words, rather than single characters. Something like [Review] would be better. > • "P|": Proposal (a proposed enhancement to the specification) [Proposal] or simply a subject like "Proposal to Do Something" > • "A|": Announcement (announcement of general importance to work group There is an existing convention that I have seen on several lists using either [Ann] or [Announce]. > members; this might also be posted to the separate announcement list) > • "Q|" For posting questionnaire responses to the list Just use a subject like "Response to Questionnaire ..." > • "D|": General informal discussion (default for unspecified) General discussion should not have markers of any kind. > Can I get a seconding? Not from me. -- Lachlan Hunt http://lachy.id.au/
