This might have been discussed before but is it possible when you move your cursor over the subject line to have it pop up with the first few lines of the post. This would enable you to sift through quicker and view in detail the post that interest you more (e.g. when looking for specific info.)

I understand there maybe technical issues but was interested to have your comments.

there would be a big performance hit, and it leaves accessibility concerns.

Getting people to use better titles is the answer I think
