I agree, and would add that I tend to read many of these e-mail at once,
flipping from one to the next without looking at the Subject line, so I
would prefer that people add plenty of spoiler space to the text of the
message.

Just my two cents.

Please!  Announce spoilers of any sort.   I'll also try to be careful 
not to read if there are *any* indicators that spoilers might be 
following.   I don't even want to read a sentence (except for the 
original excerpt stuff that's been floating around).   No more.
