Wow.  So, I didn't send you an email, and then you send me an email with the indicator "Re:" which traditionally (well, in the last few years of email history) means that you are responding to my email... which I didn't send.<p>Sorry to be a purist, but I consider that a misleading subject line, which is one of the indicators of spam.<p>Yes, traditionally, RE: meant "in regards to" and was a standard header on memos to denote the subject (watch Mad Men if you don't recall memos).  But we all know that nowadays it is the changed subject line of an email response in a thread... which is why it gets the attention the author mentions.<p>Sure, we all have to do whatever we can to get noticed.  But maybe I'm the only one here who thinks that there are ways to do this without "overloading" the RE.  And please don't say "ah, but his is Re, while Outlook uses RE, totally different!".  Because it's not.<p>As a test, try something other than RE:  Try using "Subj:" or Oh, one more thing re: price list or any of the other countless ways one can get attention in a subject without "fooling" the user.<p>The mispelling, though, is not a bad touch.
