This is really off-topic, but it would be interesting to know whether
anyone else agrees that "info request" is a bad subject for an email
message, because it's likely to be mistaken as spam by the recipient.

Typically when I look at my inbox, there are certain types of subjects
that I almost unconsiously delete without reading - things like "Here's
the information
you requested", "Business opportunity", "Hi!", "New web site", "You
need to read this", etc.
This takes me just a few seconds to do, and typically I toss 3 or 4
messages off the bat when opening my mailbox.


I suppose that I'm throwing away a (very) small fraction of valid mail by
doing 
this, but it beats learning to do the same thing automatically with
procmail, which would still have the chance of throwing out valid mail.

I'm curious to know if other people do this as well.

marcello, the phrase "serious and known" confuses me. is this person
concerned about art or fame?
