As there seems to be a marked decline in the use of "subject tags" in
the subject line of the e-mails posted to the iris list, I thought that
I would repost the listing for all (old and new list members) to
reference. This was originally posted by Tom Tadfor Little to the Iris
List in March of 1997.
*** Subject Tags ***
Here is the list of subject tags, which I encourage everyone to use to
preface the subject lines of their messages to Iris-L. Please use the
tags
as they are given; do not invent variations. If the practice loses its
consistency, it will also lose much of its usefulness. I know this is a
long listing, but that is a reflection of the breadth and variety of our
discussions. Don't be intimidated; they will become quickly familiar
after
a short time. Try to use the tag that fits your message best. It is
often
appropriate to combine a tag from the first set (types of irises) with
one
from another set. If nothing fits, don't worry. The tags are not
mandatory.
