It is most probably a limitation that would apply to any mail program that
automagically converts the text email messages to HTML.  As we all know,
this is a feature of Arachne's Insight email program.  If using an email
program such as NetMail, or Barebones, or Net-Tamer to read the messages,
then there would be no problem in using HTML tags in the subject line.

All the best,
