But, if I send a message to myself with no subject, then no subject header
is appended to the message. Are you sure that is not a default header that
is shown regardless of its value or existence?

Mike, I have a patch that uses the "^C T" command in the composer to count
the characters in the message, so you can figure out if you need to
shorten a specific message.
