The subject lines of this mailing list are extremely long, mostly due to the bug reporting system. Is it really necessary to say PHP twice in the subject line? Also, I can't remember the last time I've seen a 3.0 Bug show up, so is it even necessary to give the version number? For that matter, if we see a bug number like #9098, can't we safely assume that it's Bug #9098 and not have to see "Bug" on the subject line? Possible alternatives to what is being used now are: [PHP-DEV] Bug #885 Updated: blah blah blah [PHP-DEV] Bug #885 U: blah blah blah [PHP-DEV] #885 U: blah blah blah [PHP-DEV] 4.0 #885 U: blah blah blah My point here is that the useful information in the subject is usually at the very end and often not seen in GUI email clients.
