ADMIN: Subject Tags

I think it is time for one of my periodic reminders to use subject tags.

  I would appreciate it if you would use the standard iris-talk subject 
tags, as described in the welcome message, to preface the subject lines 
of the messages you send to the list. 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 contained in the list sent out in the Welcome 
Message that you got when you subscribed to iris-talk (You DID read it 
didn't you? - And maybe printed it out for reference?)  I have also 
included the list below. Print it out for future reference.

Don't be afraid to change the Subject Tag if the subject of the reply 
wanders significantly from the original message

Remember, 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. The standard tags are 
below. You might want to print this for reference.
