On another list server I subscribe to, where there also is a heavy
volume of mail traffic, we use three- and four-letter strings similar to
what you have in mind, so that members can select which messages they
want to save in folders.
PAR: Three designs based on a Paul Carlson formula. In this example, PAR
is used once as an introduction and not in the Subject.
FRM: Three variations on gravijul. Again, a one-time use of a string.
MAP: Six metallic-looking palettes. Ditto on the string useage,

HELP: Please explain periodicity. For those who don't want to read the

DISC: Is it necessary to port Fractint to Windows? DISC=discussion.
HARD: Fractint doesn't work with my video card. For hardware-related
problems.
MISC: For other on-topic matters that don't fall into the above
categories. Art shows, making posters and T-shirts using fractal images,
suggestions for further Fractint improvement (as if it needed any), etc.
