A good demonstration of the point you make elsewhere about the importance of having a self-identifying footer in your feed. (I really must get around to doing that!) Can't stop the scrapers, so we might as well use them for advertising, yes?

Aweber blog broadcast allows each message to have an appropriate subject line but right now I am fighting the template system so the move is not 100% yet, hence this message :) @Dominic - I will be writing up about the experience, yeah @Dave – People were not opening the emails and/or complaining because the subject lines never changed.
