I find this annoying. One problem is that some people are not able to define a subject at all, either because they use a mail system (usually gatewayed) that doesn't have the concept or because the "Subject:" keyword is in the national language and the gateway doesn't translate it (most PC mail systems have everything in the national language, because it hasn't occurred to the translators that they should translate this only in the GUI and not in the stuff sent over the network). Anyway there is currently no way to reject messages without a subject. Eric
