There seems to be a trend to writing extremely long subject lines on this list;
I for one don't like it and would like people to stop that. Please. It wreaks
havoc with my email system (which I can't change, since it is what the company
requires me to use) - or rather, it messes up the email display.
It is all very well to summarize the mail in the subject line, but it was never meant to hold the
collected works of Tolstoy. Apart from being rather inconsiderate, I also think it shows a certain
lack of aptitude. Example: "I am using the newest version: my problem is that I can't print
slides on the powerpoint as a hand out..it never gives me the option to bring so many slides on a
page" could be summarized as "Many slides on a page?" or something similar, it
shouldn't be too hard I'd think.

My email program just makes the subject line appear in a rollover type
window. Neve have seen it as a problem before.
I would suggest that you submit a RFE with the company that makes your
email client to improve its abilities. Maybe there are some options
that your IT department has not set properly.
My display screen for the subject is set where most subjects are just
wide enough without any RE:'s added. Still no problem.
I do agree that some subjects say way to much, especially when the
message body just asks "how do I fix it?'
