Re: Subject lines

I haven't run into any systems that out right block simply on the absence of
a subject line but it's usually a ding in the 'this might be spam' score.
When I used to deal with that sort of thing I believe I'd score that rule
as, at least, 1/3 the kill score.

I see nothing wrong with the subject line containing the phrases

Question
or the word "Digest" in it
I would prefer there being a subject line rather than blanks, but again, I
would not reject it

Do any of you automatically reject mail with a blank subject line? Would

the list be doing the poster a favor if their submission was rejected if
it had any of these subject lines:
<blank>

Can the list reject it back to them with a "bad subject line" type
message? Don't want to be a hard case, just wondering.
