Well, we're just full of surprises today: I was just looking at the e-mailed New Entry Alert I received for my last moblogged entry (Yes, I subscribe to my own New Entry alert. No, I'm not a narcissist -- it's for testing purposes.) -- when I noticed a slight change to the subject line:
Instead of just saying "AOL Journals New Entry Alert", the subject line of the New Entry Alert e-mail now includes the name of the Journal from whence it came: "AOL Journals New Entry Alert ("AOL Journals: Magic Smoke")"
[Update: This is also true for your Comment Added Alerts. This will be useful if you have multiple Journals.]
I checked with the Alerts team -- this is definitely a new feature, and it's here to stay.
It's a little enhancement we requested a long time ago; Matt from the Alerts team says that it had been kicking around in the development environment for a while, so they finally added it in.
I asked Matt if the Alerts folks have any other surprises for us in the works -- he says that they don't have anything else cooking right now. I'll let you know if that changes (that is, assuming I know about it, myself).
Thanks -- Joe

Lori,
If you like, you can always change your Journal's address (URL) -- see my entry here (which is also linked from my main page sidebar):
http://journals.aol.com/journalseditor/magicsmoke/entries/2 006/03/28/go-ahead-change-your -journals-address/1235
Keep in mind that if you do, any direct links to entries using the old URL will redirect to your Journal's main page, and not to the entry.
Thanks -- Joe (posted & mailed) -
I like the name but it doesn't say subject which is really what a subject line should be about. They have it so long already. They could shorten up the beginning maybe just Journal Alert, do I need to know it is from AOL...come on I won't forget. could be JA: New or JA: Comment then the name & then a bit of subject. Or the subject could be when you just place your arrow on the highlighted entry & it gives you the subject (being title) of the journal entry. Just needs to be cleaned up & a bit better.

I love the name of the journals in the subject line!! Thank you AOL!

I like it ... I would say I love it actually listed my journal correctly. :o (

If you want to be able to preview subject lines, your best bet would probably be using a feedreader to keep track of new blog entries.
