Just cleaning up my mailbox, found this unansewered...

I took the single question pre mail as a corollary to
"Use meaningful, specific subject headers". If you have two questions(*)
then a meaningful specific subject header becomes much less likely.

(*) Questions in the sense of a group of tightly bound statements and
requests, not in the sense of a single sentence with a '?' tacked on the
end.
