It makes the real subject almost unreadable. This message showed up as:

   135 Apr  1 Daniel Glassey      (4155) [sword-devel] [flashcards] Re: [jsword

As you see not much room left for any usefull information regarding the
subject.

I suggest people use a sane description in their subject line so one can
see easily what the message is about.
