Suggestion re personal mail

[Jules Levin]

>  After reading all the messages re accidental list postings, not only on this

>  adopted by the whole e-mail community would help to mitigate this situation.
>  Whenever you are sending a personal message to someone on a list, write in
>  the subject line:  PERSONAL to J. Doe...
>  There is still room for other subject info if desired.
>  The rest of us who accidently might receive the message can delete it unread
>  (or sneak a peek at others' mail, if we so desire).
>  Of course, the more sophisticated can still avoid the problem with various
>  commands, etc., but some of us are still mired in the pre-electronic
>  universe and can't seem to navigate without errors.  I continue to receive
>  mail from a list that refuses to accept my unsubscribe command because they
>  say I'm not a subscriber--apparently my campus system changed our outgoing
>  addresses or something.  Anyway, I don't have a clue what to do about it...
