I fully agree with Tom here, alot of the time I will read messages that 
simply pertains to my model, problems that I haven't experienced (but 
probably will!), I just save the messages for future use - my own 
archive!

Absolutely!  Sure we get ALOT of messages, but with descriptive subject 
lines I can be pretty sure about what I want to read and what I want to 
delete.  Really, how long does it take to delete 1, 10, 100 messages.  
A few months ago someone proposed a system for subject lines which 
seems to have disappeared, I think we should pick this up again instead 
of flaming people, friends, who could really use our help.

System went something like:  'body type: subject'

5kcstq:  Electrical problems
200tqw:  Tires
DISC:  Factory tours
etc., etc.
