You've never sent or received an e-mail with the subject line "no subject"?

Most of the emails I receive have a subject. In fact, several of the emails I receive only have subjects and no message.
Besides, considering we can't search for PMs, having no subject would be a mess if you're looking for a specific PM.

Including search functionality to PM should be a priority, as well. Just because you personally wouldn't use this functionality doesn't negate its usefulness to many others. Many people send short e-mails with no subject, and I'd like to be able to send a PM with no subject. It could say (no subject) or it could fill in the first few words of the message ... the point is this is a pretty simple thing that should be in there.

Just like the thousands of other pretty simple things that should be in there?
I believe this no subject PM's is just a form of people getting lazier as the society does. Come on people, just enter some subject, a few words isn't going to hurt.

I don't really feel I should have to enter a subject for a single sentence PM :|
can't you just hit the "." or hit a few random keys for a ";laskdjf" sort of subject and then tab to the message then if it's really that big of a deal?

I don't believe I ever have. Most forum software does require it.

Lex just released a 1.4x compatible plugin for this but I would be very happy if it were included.
