   1.  A question cannot be _clearly_ asked in the subject, when it   
       exceeds the width of the reader's subject column.   
      
       What I see of your subject line is this:   
      
           "Second inquiry: Is there a way to ac"   
      
      
   2.  How I would suggest you post your question is similar   
       to comparing a newspaper headline (the message subject)   
       with a newspaper article (the message body).   
      
       The headline (or message subject) should...   
        •  not be the entire article;   
        •  tell you enough about the article so you know whether   
           you want to read the article or not;   
        •  be no longer than necessary to do this.   
      
       The article (or message body) should provide more detail than   
       could fit in a headline (or message subject).
