things that make me angry:
1. Empty Subject:
Its really annoying when people are not writing a subject in their emails.
I am sure that in hell exist a circle (dante’s inferno) only for that people.
2. Irrelevant Subject:
Its as annoying to write an irrelevant subject tittle as to not write at all.
eg.
Subject: Is internet down?
Body: i am having problem login into thunderbird, but google.com is opening just fine!
3. Body test in Subject:
Another annoying thing is when people are using subject title as the begin of their body:
Subject: Yesterday one of the servers
Body: crashed but i fix it
This isnt elegant - Be lazy on the right things
4. Large subject - aka write body text into subject:
no comment on that.
eg.
Subject: “Re: Fwd: Plz investigate the problem in communication between contact.center@example.com and customer.service@example.com accounts with the domain thisisnotanexample.com”
5. RE: & FWD:
aka mail chain spam
eg.
Subject: RE: FWD: FWD: FWD: RE: FWD: RE: hello kitty
i want to punch these people really hard
6. Urgent & SOS
eg.
Subject: URGENT THIS EMAIL IS URGENT - PLZ SOS
Body: I cant login into webmail
those types of email for unknown to me reason are always on my Trash!

Suggestion:
PLz Try using tags as subjects in your emails.
There are very useful in search and keep your recipients sane.
eg.
Subject: login problem with webmail
Body: I am opening google.com (so i know i have connectivity), but i cant login into webmail.
The msg error is: Wrong Credentials
And on that i would reply instantly with:
Subject: RE: login problem with webmail
Body: We are using the wrong password, try another.
and problem solved !
