This is a general point I'm making, not just about your email in particular.
There appears to be a trend on this list where a random user just
posts an inflammatory email with "ACME SOFTWARE IS RUBBISH". Now, if
the maintainer of that software is scanning the email list, bear in
mind he (or she) has likely spent a significant amount of time and
energy getting the software into the state you see it now. They
probably spend evenings and weekend closing duplicate bugs and fixing
trivial typos that people notice. If you title an email with such
rubbish then the maintainer is simply going to ignore it or spam it.
I'll explain why:
Well said!
