It could be partially the crappy webmail interfaces to blame, but a lot of this
falls squarely on the shoulders of people who don't know how to use e-mail properly.

It's been threatened before to make all our mailing lists forcibly reject mail
without proper subject lines, but nothing has come of that yet.  For the record,
I'm fully in favor of rejecting blank subjects.
