The sust-mar queue is empty today, so in place of the usual message, a
housekeeping point:

Please don't preface your message with "please post" or other
administrative comments. They don't help me ... and they go right into the
message when it goes on the list, making it less visually appealing to
readers.

To make a long technical story short, when you send your message to
sust-mar@chebucto.ns.ca, (the correct and only address for messages to the
list), your message tumbles down a special chute, and it is immediately
obvious to me that it is destined for sust-mar.

The system attaches a lot of gobbledy-gook to the beginning of your
message ... these make it difficult for me to notice comments attached to
the beginning ... and even harder to remove them. Same for subject lines.
Fortunately, these machine codes are cleaned off by the system when i
throw the switch to send it to sust-mar.

Please DO attach a descriptive subject line ... one that tells readers
WHAT is in your message .... and makes it stand out in the ARCHIVES (web
page).

And FEEL FREE to send a SEPARATE message to me, with "sust-mar" in the
subject line, if you want to explain WHY this message is urgent, WHY it is
OK that it's cross-posted, or other administrative stuff.

Thanks!
