For me that's three simple things:
1) A good descriptive subject. I quickly delete any message where the subject doesn't tell me what's going on. I rarely look at "please help" or "newbie" subjects. Nothing against beginners (that's me), I just don't want to spend the time reading the post to find out the real subject.
Yep, I think that's the consensus. People on this list are pretty good about supplying good subjects. I've been following the FreeBSD-questions list for a few weeks and I cannot begin to tell you how many people have been putting "help!" or "question" as a subject.
2) I'm a big fan of posting replies after the quoted material, and with the quoted material stripped WAY down. If I open a message and see only quoted material in my window then it's deleted with scrolling.
Same here.
AND, one other thing. Does anyone really find the [SLE] placed in the subject helpful? Don't most (all) mail clients allow you filter on other headers?
I like it for visual filtering. At home I only subscribe to a couple of lists at the moment so I'm just reading everything without filtering.
