I'm not sure you got Steve's point about stuffing everying in the subject
line rather than in the message text.  I too use rtin (newsreader) and
many of your subject lines were truncated to the point where they didn't
make any sense.
 
I found that I could read the entire subject line by doing a followup
(but not actually posting the message) so I could read the header within
the text editor (which doesn't truncate).
 
No offense meant here.  Just though you'd like to know for future reference.
