[sf-lug] email ettiquette and our new meeting place

[jim]

   good thought: we're meeting at cafe euro 
tomorrow night from 6 to 8 or so. cafe euro 
is on geary at 26th avenue. 
   mikki's email to me had a problematic 
subject heading and i blunderingly replied. 
   it's helpful to keep the subject heading 
text and the message body consistent with 
each other, even to the point of having 
greater numbers of shorter, to-the-point 
email messages.
