No. But it was an interesting little experiment for a couple of days. It
has the great virtue that it makes you think "Is this email really necessary?"
and if the answer is "no" then don't send it!

Another really important thing (IMHO) is "If you change the subject,
then change the Subject header." That makes it so much easier to
follow some threads and ignore others.
