   Hi, Denis!  Recently you wrote in a message to All:   
      
   DM>  Is Subject correct as my Classifield?   
      
      
              In addition to what Dallas has already said with regard to making   
   it easier for other people to help:   
      
              Using email you might well be able to refer back to the subject   
   line as you're typing a reply.  With Fidonet mail (i.e. netmail or echomail)   
   that is not the way things are generally done... at least not on our side of   
   the ocean.   
      
      
              Now, here's the same subject line in the body of a message where   
   all of us (including you) can discuss it without having to reply from memory   
   and/or jump through a lot of hoops to get it there:

               I imagine you could have retyped the subject line in less time   
   than I spent putting the original in a temporary file & copying it, as I did.    
   Since there appears to be a Russian letter in it that is the only way I can be   
   sure I haven't confused the issue by using a different character set.   
      
               Please, if you want us to comment on something you wrote you'll   
   get better results by including it in the body of your message....  :-)
