This is exactly the reverse what what all the editors on GEnie -- and
they are legion -- say.

But they do.  Again, the editors on GEnie who not only are legion but
insistent on this point say DO use a header with LastName/WordFromTitle/#

Have you ever seen an editor's office?  Do you know just how many mss.
they read a month?  Do you know WHERE they read them?  Subways, lots of
times.  (No time to read unsolicited mss. in the office.)
