Please make an indication in the "Subject:" line.

My personal preference would be to append "(REPOST)" to the "Subject:" line.

For example:

Subject: v07i133: cmoser, edit CMOS contents (part 01/02) (REPOST)

This way it is clearly visable - even when using a newsreader like VN
which only shows the "Subject:" line while scanning.
