[I will be commenting on this in a post shortly - moderator] Hi all, and especially Steve Christensen: At the recent Wolfram Technology Conference in Champaign, Luc Barthelet <lucb at ea.com>, a regular user of MathGroup suggested that it would be good if all postings to MathGroup included a categorisation in their header, e.g. Newbies, Graphics, Functions, Programming, Statistics, Teaching, Integration, Numerics, Symbolic Algebra, Special Functions, ... so a Subject line might take the form [Statistics]: How to fit to an elliptical function? (not sure if the [ ] are required or useful). In this way, sorting by Subject would be easier. Of course, it's not always easy to do such a categorisation, and they may change with time (as a problem stated as a Numerics might end up being solved using Symbolic Algebra). Nevertheless, I think such a change would be very useful. It should also help when doing searches on MathGroup archives.
