[UK-CONTEST] HF and VHF

[Dave Sergeant]

Actually, no. Those of us who use threaded email readers that uses the 
text in the subject line (rather than the reply-to codes in the header) 
- here Pegasus Mail - come unstuck. Pegasus Mail filters on the first x 
characters of the subject. [UK-CONTEST][VHF] plus a few re:'s and 
spam:'s would use up most of those characters, so everything would end 
up in the same thread - unless I spend ages fiddling with Pegasus's 
exceptions. OK, I could easily filter everything with [VHF] in it and 
route it to the recycle bin, so it is not a show stopper. More 
important, how many of us, especially new users, would actually do it, 
and others thinking they are clever add it to existing threads causing 
it to go in a new thread.

If people used appropriate subject lines anyway they would end up 
threaded properly and I could make my own mind up which to delete 
without reading.

And yes, please NO FORUM...
