Subject line?

[Thomas Beckett]

I think it is being suggested because of GMail.

As a Gmail user myself the inbox gets full very quickly. 
Gmail does not use the idea of floders and instead is trialing the use
of lebels. This is just as easy a way to distinguish messages, but
they are all nevertheless held in the one inbox which make things very
messy. The idea is that you use googles searches to search your mail
for what you are looking for, but the whole system is not very nice
for people who just want to browse their mail.
