42Pack plenty information into the subject.
43Don't write a subject like "Foo version 1.1 released". Many
44people will not know what Foo is, so the subject won't help them
45select articles. Instead, say "Foo 1.1 - copy files more
46efficiently than cp". There is no need to say that the article
47is an announcement, so don't write a subject like "ANNOUNCEMENT:
48Foo version 1.1 released".
