Document Summary
A useful subject line needs to be relevant and explains what is in the email. Indicate content and purpose in the subject line; be specific enough to convey main purpose of email. It helps the reader sort through a crowded mailbox. Specifically describes content of message, but does not give away bad news. Is followed by a restatement of the subject in the message. Keep in mind the five w"s: who, what, when, where, and why: know how to write a good email subject line and what not to write in an email subject line. Do not unintentionally imply more or less than you intend to. Be careful in the wording of subject line because people may only read the subject line if they feel like all the necessary information is in the subject line. You don"t want to mislead readers into thinking that they have all the information when they actually don"t.
