31 | Note: submissions to comp.windows.linux.announce must be |
| 32 | sent to cola@stump.algebra.com, with short descr | |
| 33 | of software and location. See http://stump.algebra.com/~cola/ | |

| 36 | Pack plenty information into the subject. | |
| 37 | Don't write a subject like "Foo version 1.1 released". Many | |
| 38 | people will not know what Foo is, so the subject won't help them | |
| 39 | select articles. Instead, say "Foo 1.1 - copy files more | |
| 40 | efficiently than cp". There is no need to say that the article | |
| 41 | is an announcement, so don't write a subject like "ANNOUNCEMENT: | |
| 42 | Foo version 1.1 released". | |
