Technical Summary
 
This memo discusses policies that require certain labels to be
inserted in the "Subject:" header of a mail message.  Such policies
are difficult to specify accurately while remaining compliant with
key RFCs and are likely to be ineffective at best.  This memo
discusses an alternate, standards-compliant approach that is
significantly simpler to specify and is somewhat less likely to be
ineffective.
