It's preferable that the word SPOILER is included in the _first part_ of the
Message subject.
If the subject is "Whatever happened to Vlad in chapter seventeen? (Dzur
Spoiler)", then this will end up as "Re: [Dragaera] Whatever happened to
Vlad..." (or something like that) in at least some email readers (like
hotmail, which I'm using).
Please word it as "(Dzur SPOILER) Whatever happened to Vlad in chapter
seventeen?" instead. :)
Thank you.
