Definitely not as a subject line! That's as bad as {nuqneH}; it doesn't
describe the note at all. As a preface to a note, I don't mind the idea.
Of course, I also dislike this use of the prefix {HI-}, and in this case
I think it's even less appropriate than something like {HInob}. {'Ij}
is given as "listen", not "listen to", so it doesn't sound right to me
with any object at all. If you simply *have* to say something like this
before you really start your message, I like {HIbuS} or {peqIm} better.
