One thing that would help: please put a short mnemonic of the version
of Fedora and relevant package(s) to which you refer in your subject
line. e.g.:

FC2T3: Squid x.y.z Crashes
FC1 as updated: OpenOffice.org 1.1.1 Problem

The main reasons for this request is that on high traffic lists, folks
will triage which emails they will read by the subject line. I triage
emails by subject line.
