I find it useful for automated monthly (and more frequent!) reminders (you're on such & such email list) where the text is much the same and you only want to keep one of them. Also regular cron jobs end up by default together and I rather like that. But, yes, when someone sends me an email with no subject and it gets threaded with everyone else who hasn't filled in that field it gets a little frustrating.
