Agreed. Email etiquette suggests that a Subject: header should never
be longer than fits on one line of the terminal (and terminals are 80
columns wide, you heathens). With the "Subject: " string taking 9
characters, and allowing another 4 characters for "Re: " and one more
character to prevent line-wrapping when writing to the 80th column,
this means your Subject: should be a maximum of 65 characters. Shorter
is better.
