That would be helpful. My spam filters would kill the mail with subject lines
you describe. I'd never see it. For mail from my registrar I do look at the
"from" since all administrative mail is easily detected that - at least from
my registrar. However, I have found some spoofed "from" entries showing that
registrar as well, so am becoming more jaded by the day. Having a "private"
or "secret" address for administrative business with the registrar is a good
idea, IMO.
