Subject: [gentoo-user] proper subject lines

Hi group,

I would like to raise my voice against the use of overly long subject lines that run out of space on the line provided.

Complete sentences are not necessary. A few, well chosen words should suffice and spare the user the nuisance of opening mail that ultimately is of no value to him.

Maxim
