Amen. I doubt that anyone would not appreciate this effort. Think of
the reader whose help you are requesting. Or if you are the one
providing the answer, think of the person desperately seeking the
actual advice in the message.

It's a simple fact that a good subject line will attract much better
replies and the people who actually have an answer may want to reply,
whereas a generic "n00b needs help" and "Digest blah..." post will
often go under by many, filtered to trash by others.
