I think most of the feedback page was written by me, so I'm the  
culprit here. Reading your mail exchange, I think I would suggest the  
following rewording, from:
[[
# Add a meaningful subject: summarize your feedback in a handful of  
words;
# If our system added [VE][XX] at the beginning of the mail subject,  
keep it. Otherwise, please precise which error message you are  
sending feedback about;
]]
to
[[
# Add a meaningful subject: the system will be adding a default  
subject to your mail such as "[VE][XX] Error Message Feedback".
  Please keep the [VE][XX] part if present, but if you can, replace  
the rest of the subject with a clear and concise summary of what  
feedback you are sending.
]]

My rationale for the situation and proposal is:
- I don't think everyone will read the instructions, and I'd rather  
we received mails with a default subject than none
- I agree a meaningful subject is a big plus, especially for  
searching in the archives

What do you think?
