[MCOH-EH] Sending replies to the list

[Dr Joe Fanucchi]

Good morning,

Just a couple of housekeeping items as we all get ready for the holidays ...

#1: I've noticed an increasing number of messages with the subject 
listing in the format of
*  Re: [MCOH-EH] MCOH-EH Digest, Vol 249, Issue 14*

Unfortunately, this doesn't provide any useful information to other 
subscribers who are trying to follow a particular discussion thread. 
When replying to a message, PLEASE take the time to indicate the SUBJECT 
of your reply, such as
*Re: [MCOH-EH] MMR & VZ - proof of immunity*

#2: In this week's messages, you can see a good example of what happens 
when subscribers just hit the *Reply* button. Someone's overzealous 
email client added the words *[This might be SPAM]* to an incoming 
message -- and so his/her reply to that message included that warning 
language in the subject. Half a dozen others who then simply hit *Reply* 
to THAT message had that same warning included in the subject of THEIR 
messages as well ... so I've gotten quite a few individual inquiries 
from subscribers asking if our list is now overrun with spam. The quick 
answer is no -- I do my best to delete the hundreds of bot-generated 
spam messages which are sent to the list each day, but these 
particular*[This might be SPAM]* messages aren't bot-generated -- 
they're the result of one email client modifying the subject line of an 
incoming message, and many subscribers replying to that message without 
editing out the spam warning in the subject line.

Thanks for your (momentary) attention to this ... it should help keep 
the list more informative and easy-to-follow for everyone.

Respectfully,

Joe Fanucchi
