I took the single question pre mail as a corollary to "Use meaningful, specific subject headers". If you have two questions(*) then a meaningful specific subject header becomes much less likely. (*) Questions in the sense of a group of tightly bound statements and requests, not in the sense of a single sentence with a '?' tacked on the end.
