Changing the subject, if appropriate should be advisable and shows 
respect as does trimming posts to the appropriate level. Changing it 
because some one uses the digest mode and can not be bothered is showing 
disrespect for the rest of the group. After all, the group charter 
states and we are often asked to please use meaningful subject lines and 
to not repost the digest.

Filters are easy to create and make life easier for the reader and 
other's in the group. Yes it takes 20 or 30 seconds to set up each 
filter, but over a year it saves hours. OTOH I receive about 100 (or 
more) messages a day with 20 or so that require an answer. With close to 
30 e-mail addresses and that much mail I find filters essential, not 
just convenient. Of course with that much mail I no longer pay attention 
to e-mails without subjects, or descriptive subject lines. I'd bet there 
are many others on here that receive more mail than I do.

I set filters to send the messages to the appropriate group. IOW Each 
reflector has it's own folder/directory. I have a separate directory for 
friends and a couple of those even have their own directory.  If the 
header has the groups/reflectors name in it then it gets sent to the 
appropriate folder. I don't have to sort through days worth of messages 
to sort out each one and if I want to hunt for a particular message it's 
much easier to find.

73 and back to the regular subjects. It's time for this one to die.
