HEAD CVS code as of yesterday afternoon.  When I view a message that has
no Subject header, IMP is showing a subject line with the text "S" in it.
So, for example, the following is what I see in IMP for the headers:

   Date:         Wed, 5 Jun 2002 02:00:14 -0500
   From:         daemon@physics.utexas.edu
     To:         root@nis1.ph.utexas.edu
Subject:         S
Headers:         Show All Headers

But this is the message headers (From the "message source" link)

Return-Path: <daemon@nis1.ph.utexas.edu>

So IMP is getting an "S" for the subject where non exists (maybe an
off-by-one error?)

"TAD (Technology Attachment Disorder) is an unshakable, impractical devotion
to a brand, platform, product line, or programming language. It's relatively
harmless among the rank and file, but when management is afflicted the damage
can be measured in dollars. It's also contagious -- someone with sufficient
political clout can infect an entire organization."
