This memo discusses policies that require certain labels to be
inserted in the "Subject:" header of a mail message. Such policies
are difficult to specify accurately while remaining compliant with
key RFCs and are likely to be ineffective at best. This memo
discusses an alternate, standards-compliant approach that is
significantly simpler to specify and is somewhat less likely to be
ineffective.
This memo provides information for the Internet community. It does
not specify an Internet standard of any kind. Distribution of this
memo is unlimited.
