goibhniu:

That's a pretty cool idea! I don't know how many people would use it, but I'd love it if it were widespread. (I have too many 6xxxxxx.pl files in my PM directory.)

Might I offer one suggestion?

If someone codes that up, it would be pretty nice to have the option of having the first few words (less Re:...) of the title. It would make it easier to recognize 'em in my directory.

Of course ... I'm not sure that having a directory full of names like PLZHelpMe.pl, UrgentQuestion.pl, WhyshouldIuse.pl, etc. would be any better than numbers. At least with the numbers, you can put 'em in mostly chronological order.

Title:
Use:  <p> text here (a paragraph) </p>
and:  <code> code here </code>
to format your post, it's "PerlMonks-approved HTML":


  • Posts are HTML formatted. Put <p> </p> tags around your paragraphs. Put <code> </code> tags around your code and data!
  • Titles consisting of a single word are discouraged, and in most cases are disallowed outright.
  • Read Where should I post X? if you're not absolutely sure you're posting in the right place.
  • Please read these before you post! —
  • Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags:
    a, abbr, b, big, blockquote, br, caption, center, col, colgroup, dd, del, details, div, dl, dt, em, font, h1, h2, h3, h4, h5, h6, hr, i, ins, li, ol, p, pre, readmore, small, span, spoiler, strike, strong, sub, summary, sup, table, tbody, td, tfoot, th, thead, tr, tt, u, ul, wbr
  • You may need to use entities for some characters, as follows. (Exception: Within code tags, you can put the characters literally.)
            For:     Use:
    & &amp;
    < &lt;
    > &gt;
    [ &#91;
    ] &#93;
