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? -- olivier
