   He wants to give the replies sent out automatically using a "canned reply" 
a sensible Subject. That is legitimate, in my view, and not covered by your 
arguments.

   
   Another thing, which is nearer to what you argue about, is something I 
tried: I participate in a Webforum which sends out an email for each new 
message in the forum (when I select that option), containing forum the 
message. 
   
   The subject line is one of two possibilities: "New Message in Forum" or 
"New Answer in Forum". I wanted to set the Subject to the subject of the forum 
message, which is mentioned somewhere in the mail, so that the message list 
makes more sense, giving information about the content of the message. I think 
that this is also quite legitimate. 

   A third example is even nearer to your argument, and both of us: the 
mailing list server for this PMMail list changes the subject line for all 
messages passing thru and adds a "[pmmail-list]" to it. Did you complain? 

Yours,
