Subject Line Design for Email Marketing Very few email marketers spend time on the Subject Line of an email message, but it is the most important factor taken into account for an effective email campaign.

Impact on SPAM Scores and Deliverability As we all know, emails are delivered (to the inbox or junk mail box) or blocked based on the Spam Score computed by the email delivery servers. Lower the score, better the deliverability rate. Email Subject line is one of the contributors to the spam score. When determining the spam score, the spam filters (such as SpamAssassin) take a close look at the subject line of the email. Take a look at the page listing tests performed by SpamAssassin and pay attention to the tests starting with �SUBJ�. The spam scores assigned range between 1 and 3. When a subject line is designed, you should make sure that all these tests are passed, so that the score can be kept to zero. Note that these tests and scores vary based on the tools / software used by email servers and ISPs.
