    Ya know ... this whole descriptiveness thing has to be my biggest 
pet peeve. I have a couple of things going at any given time and I just 
*love* when I get an email entitled "can you fix this?" Bad enough when 
its a customer, worse when its the guys I work with - the best response 
to these sorts of things coming from an internal address is "maybe" and 
don't elaborate :-) They either take the hint and put a proper title on 
it with a cc: to our project manager, or they fix it themselves.
