Subject: [FFML] [NOISE?] [IMHO] subject headers... a polite request

konnichiwa minasama,

Ok zenin, I know this is a rather dull subject, but when you write your
subject headers, can you please follow a simple request for the format...

[FFML] [series] title here [ part x/y]

The reason is simple. MSIE (ands most other mail programs I believe) will
sort the daily dose of 50 emails in alphabetical order. By consistently
keeping to this format, it becomes tons easier to find the new parts to
ongoing series as they appear, because they will automatically be sorted
next to eachother.

Also, when you do post a fic, post JUST the fic in that email, with the
appropriate header. That way if we want to archive your stories on our hard
drives for later re-reading pleasure, we don't have to go through notices
which will quickly be outdated.

What I'm trying to say is please put notices on websites, C+C on other fics,
apologies for the delays etc. in a separate email. I (and many others?)
would thank you for it.

sorry if I'm raining on your parade, but on every parade a little rain must
fall. Get out of that one Ranma-kun!
