Inbox - 1.18.06

Remarkable correspondence from the
consistently unremarkable world of email

There is more attention given to
subject lines than one might think. Recently, there appeared an entire music
album of songs inspired by subject lines. They are mostly taken from junk mail;
one song is called, “Erik, Someone wants to date you.”

This edition of Inbox is the
culmination of our Best Subject Line Contest, where we have collected the most
interesting examples of this practice. All I want to say about the following
subject lines is that they are real. Send correspondence to inbox@rochester-citynews.com.
