It drives me crazy when people that put the “body” of an email in the Subject line. For Example:
To: Buzz
From: Debbie Ditzy
Subject: When you get a minute, could you come to my desk and help me out with a problem that I’m having with my PC? It was working fine this morning but now? Not so much.

Subject: I do that all of the time to my boss. I wonder if it bugs the crap out of him.

If there was no message, you need not respond. The subject line is informational only and of no real relevance to the actual e-mail.
That makes me CRAZY! This was the subject of an e-mail I received today:
any idea why nothing qualified both but this is j@###zzz
Harvey and I were just talking about this today. It also make me crazy when it’s all in lower case.
Certain things are considered natural law in technology: Systems will break (at the least opportune time), product owners never know what they want, and yes, users are (as a general rule) utter morons. We should start a blog with dumb user stories… it would be both cathartic and amusing at the same time!
I just did that to my boss and he responded back with “no body… no comment”.
SUBJECT: APPROVED ADJ YES OR NO?
His SUBJECT: NO BODY.... NO Comment

I like the previous comment from -d. Smart boss.
I sent an email to a co-worker without a body today.... and thought of you.
I sent her a quick second one apologizing for the email.
Her response:
SUBJECT: No problem!
BODY: EMPTY!
