I saw the code sent by Jim Moore which is much better way of doing than what
I was thinking.
I was thinking of some not-so-elegant way, where you could subclass
category, introduce a setSubject method in there, or override methods such
as info, debug etc to take the message and subject. So if you call these
methods, your category could go through all its appenders (getAllAppenders)
and then set the subject if any of the appenders are instanceof
SMTPAppender. However I am not sure of performance hit for checking on
instance type of all attached appenders.
Thanks,

I guess I could. What I was getting confused over was that the subject
field is declared in the log4j.properties file.
If I follow you correctly then I could subclass the smtp appender class and
then on the renderLogMessage (?) make a call to the setSubject method to
overwrite the one declared in the properties file.
Or are you saying that I wouldn't have to subclass the smtp appender. If so
where would I make the call to setSubject from?
Thanks for your help
