My mail program sorts by: Subject, sender,size, time, date Thats about it. If I have mail coming in from three lists from folks all over without a similar item in common that I can categorize with it's a mess to handle. GUess my mail program is crap!! I agree long subjects get messy , I choose just the INitials for my group when setting up a subject line wiht majordomo, my users loved it. Better to have that than dealing with newbies constantly bugging for some way of telling what is what without opening first.
