I agree with Chris, there are a lot of arms and legs that are relevant 
to the main body / topic. Possibly modifying the message subject line 
with a hyphen and a word or two to describe the sub-point or supporting 
argument, etc. Then those that do not want to read the 'off-topic' 
materials can just delete them.
