Yahoo! Mail's subject-o-matic provides endless stream of one-liners
The email subject line. The bane of our existence. Back when Download Squad was just a wee little blog, we used to communicate the old fashioned way, by sending letters in the mail and waiting a week for them to arrive. It may not have been the most efficient way to keep in touch, but at least we didn't have to write subject lines.
Fortunately, Yahoo! has a hidden feature designed for the creativity-challenged. Can't come up with a clever or appropriate subject line for that email you're about to send? Just hit the subject button in the new version of Yahoo! Mail. Yahoo! will throw in a quote, funny phrase, or who knows what?
Here are just a few of the things that we found. Keep in mind, somebody must have taken the time to actually type these in there.

While yahoo mail is great and I use it everyday, there are still some features of Outlook I wish Yahoo would work to add.
This random subject line text NOT being one of them.
I agree "GUTTER" .......... subject lines like "Hazards of storing plutonium in Tupperware"....... would go straight to my spam box.
