--------

I have revised the comment form (is/lib/comments.html) slightly, mostly to allow easier maintenance of the mail we get:

- added a "Subject" field so the user can say what the
  message is about (shown on Subject line in resulting mail;
  e.g., "Revised Comment Form" in this message)

- revised what happens when you select a message type:
  1) now prompts you before it wipes out any existing message
  2) includes terse indicator in resulting email message,
     rather than long string (e.g., now "IS-HOME MESSAGE:"
     or "IS-HOME CORRECTION:" etc.)
  3) moves cursor to Subject field for easy data entry

- consequently reordered fields on form ("From" field first, etc.)

I hope this makes mail management easier (including quicker access to specific messages, because they're now better labeled...)

Any questions, comments?
