In the Subject Line

Do you ever have trouble composing the subject line of an email you are about to send? Do you ever find yourself fretting over the precise combination of words that summarizes your email accurately?

Well, someone I know figured out a perfect solution to this problem. Let’s call this person Betsy Trotwood. (Clearly I have been watching David Copperfield on Masterpiece Theater lately.)

Betsy does not waste time looking for the perfect subject line. I bet she does not even have to pause for a second before typing it in. In fact I suspect Betsy does not think about it at all. All of Betsy’s emails have the same subject line. Short and sweet, it contains only two words: “From Betsy.”
