All too often, I get emails with one word subjects. It has always annoyed me and I have always edited the subject in my reply. It’s even worse if the subject makes no sense, has nothing to do with the content or the worst, no subject at all.
With several thousand emails in many folders, finding an email with a dodgy subject is a nightmare. I can search the content of the emails, but the result list shows me only subject so I’m none the wiser.
Please people, take care in writing your email subjects. In my opinion, it is the single most important thing when communicating via email. If you recognise one of the emails above, sorry but it does need addressing-
Rant over.

Have to add my agreement to this. Why people can’t label things correctly I do not know.
Also, slightly less annoying but still frikkin’ annoying - people who write the entire message in the subject line, but leave body copy blank.
And then there’s those people that phone you up to tell you they sent you an Email. Which is stupidly irritating, because it interrupts your routine and tells you precisely nothing that is useful.
