A suggestion for future consideration:
With smartphone texting in mind, how about allowing for a
shorter two-char version for -- Subj: when composing a
message?
--Subj: or --Sb: or --sb:
I failed to include the lowercase --subj: version of the tag to the
above list, for completeness.
I will consider this proposal. It was originally designed
as a purely technical label. It seems to me that such a
simplification can lead to false positives of recognition.
Just to clarify, I was only suggesting the use of the 2-char
versions when *creating* or *writing* a message on the Telegram side.
The full version of --Subj: on incoming messages is fine, and should
probably remain unchained.
WRT false positives, I can appreciate the problem you foresee. If
there are alternatives to a header then it could be just as easy to
mistype --Sb: as --sj: or --su: or something like that.
Therefore, maybe consider a rule for the shorter form to be just the
first 2 letters (since --To: and --to: are like that). That would be
consistent and easier to remember.
.: --Subj: or --subj: or --Su: or --su: ..might be better?
