Subject lines

Always include a subject line which will be meaningful to the recipient.

When sending a message on a new topic, don't put Re: at the beginning of the subject line. By convention, Re: denotes a reply to a previous message, and it (or something similar) is added automatically by most e-mail software when sending a reply.

When replying to a message, don't specify a new subject line. Use the default Re: subject line.
