subject line
Message preview text
The subject line is the brief text identifying an email's topic, displayed before the message is opened.
It functions like a headline, helping recipients decide whether to read, ignore, or delete: Your subject line should grab attention.
In email marketing, subject lines are crafted carefully to boost open rates.
The term extends to similar headers in other messaging systems.
