The email subject line is one of the most important parts of an email message because it helps recipients decide which messages to read and when to read them. To capture your audience's attention, make your subject lines informative and compelling. Go beyond simply describing or classifying your message; for example, "July sales results" accurately describes the content of the message, but "July sales results: good news and bad news" is more intriguing. I personally have never thought about making the subject line more interesting, I was directed that it should be short, simple and to the point.

Clear subject headings make everyone's lives easier, helping with prioritizing, filing, cataloging, cross-referencing, and retrieval. Samantha Miller states that you should keep your subjects short because “A complete sentence will betray you as an email beginner, and many e-mail programs cut off a subject after forty characters…A few words, or one well-selected one are best.” (Miller 3). Keep your message focused. If a new topic is introduced it should be under a separate message with a new subject heading.
