The subject line in the mail format is a powerful means of indicating what
you are going to write about. It permits others to decide whether or not
they wish to read your letter. Failing to indicate any subject, or using
terms such as "Lots of Things" misuses this powerful selection tool. Your
information is much more likely to be missed or lost if a concise and
accurate subject is not specified. The quickest and probably most used
Newsnet search procedures under  rn  or Readnews use article titles.
