 -- Send logically separate patches (e.g., for unrelated pages) as 
    separate mails.
 
+-- In the body of the mail message, identify the manual page
+   version against which the patch applies.
+
+-- Make sure that the mail has a suitable SUBJECT line (i.e., one that 
+   mentions the name(s) of the page(s) being patched).  Don't put the
+   manual page version in the subject line (it should already be in the 
+   body, and cluttering the subject line with a version number does 
+   not help me when filing messages...).  A suitable subject line might 
+   be something like:
