I guess the only way we are going to get this is if posters start
putting fully meaningful subject lines on their messages so a viewer can
understand it without contortions to add the missing context.

It is safe to assume that the message will end up in many inboxes
co-mingled with as many other lists as the recipient might be interested
in, so if you want it to get the attention of someone with subversion
knowledge it would be best to make that clear.
In spite of the messages insisting that everyone *must* teach their mail
client to sort mailing list messages so they are hidden away somewhere,
it isn't necessary and I don't want mine handled that way.

I don't think the subject lines are bad. If I'm posting to the
subversion list, I'm content on having "Apache problem" for the
subject line. We're not expecting users to add "[subversion-users]" to
the subject line themselves, are we? lol
