I just wanted to point out that the following showed up on "TK" with the
included subject line....

Does this mean someone used the wrong channel and we get to investigate?????

Formatting note: you shouldn't include any game stats in ShadowTK posts;
ShadowTK characters don't go around thinking about Target Numbers and Power
Ratings, after all. If it winds up being relevant (most of the time exact
stats don't matter), put the numbers in a seperate email to plotd or the
other people in the plot.

No. It means that the subject has nothing to do with the message. It's
still got a private header to it.
