I would appreciate it if you would use proper subject tags for your messages please.
Subject tags are used to help subscribers who use filters to sort their mail,
and for others to decide whether they want to read or delete a message.
Subject Tags are used to preface the subject lines of the messages you send to
the list.
***Use only the Subject Tags from the list sent out in the Welcome Message you
got when you subscribed to iris-talk (You DID read it didn't you?)
***It is the same one I sent to the list just a few days age. I have also
included the list below. Print it out for future reference.
The format is the tag in ALL CAPS, followed by a colon (:), followed by your
subject. (no space between the subject tag and the colon)
[Subject tag]:[your subject description]
The colon is a very important part of the tag.
For instance:
REB: Mariposa Skies in California
Would be a proper Subject Tag and subject line
Reb-Mariposa Skies in California
would *NOT* be a proper tag (not in all caps and a "-" instead of a ":")
The appropriate subject tag for your message would have been:
OT-PLANTS: Danfordiae
Remember it is ok to fix a Subject Tag when you reply, and to change the Tag
and subject if your reply is wondering far afield of the original subject.
Don't forget to cut out all that unnecessary text from your replies.
If you are having any trouble with any of this, please contact me directly at:

Thanks
John
