Seems it's time to pull out the good old article about writing good subjects:
http://www.useit.com/alertbox/980906.html
In particular, don't start your subjects with [ feature request ] or “just a small…” etc.
If you want to stress that it's a request, just use [REQ].
Why? Well, this is how my mailbox (for this list) currently looks:
It's not all bad, and I could resize the subject column -- but there's something about the irrational trying to change the world rather than adapt! :)

True. : )
Should we also start the subject with [TxMt]? Or is it added automatically?

i sincerely apologize for my verbose subject lines. I'm overcompensating i'm sure. all the people at my office frequently use blank or insanely generic subject lines.
I wish mail.app would let me change these subjects for better conversation tracking. oh well...
Sorry, Allen, was following a perceived "convention" in the list (set by the last feature request post!) :) -ray
