Subject line etiquette I an email yesterday with the following subject line:
Which got me thinking: isn't there a limit to the amount of information you can cram into the subject line of an email? I mean, from a protocol standpoint it would seem to me that there's only so much data you're allowed to stuff in that field… I thought anyway. More importantly, however, from a sender standpoint isn't there some sort of subject line etiquette? I mean, good God, don't put an entire email in the subject line! The aforementioned email also came with a 7 kilobyte body. Not only is that hard to read (do most email clients display the entire subject line? Most of us probably haven't checked!), but it takes away from the point of the body.
