"But we all know that nowadays it is the changed subject line of an email response in a thread... which is why it gets the attention the author mentions."
No, I think many people are aware of the broader definition. Reading this and other comments here, I was expecting this to be a spamming tactic...but the email in question is sent in response to an active request for information. "Re: Klein SDK pricelist request" is a perfectly honest and understandable subject line.
- mwexler 17y agoPerhaps I do have a dated perception. Think of when we had to filter our own spam with rules, and articles like http://www.pcworld.com/article/111193/stupid_spam_tricks.html http://www.pcworld.com/article/111193/stupid_spam_tricks.htm... were in vogue (link from 2003, 1st link in the search). Note that the first 2 "tricks" this PCWorld article mentions are misspellings and the "bogus" use of "Re:". Maybe I'm still stuck in those days, but I still associate these tricks with spammy mail.
