Sorry to be so late on this, but I'm not a big fan of this new feature.
I would prefer to always see the subject (or any other field for that
matter) as is.
As a principle I would prefer there not be text replacements unless it's
very clear that text has been replaced. Buttons work because it's clear
they're buttons. This is not the case here, though, since this text
replacement could actually be confused with real text.
It's also not clear to me why this feature would be needed. I have
never found blank subjects confusing. The field is always clearly
delineated, at least in search and show mode. If it's not clear
elsewhere, maybe we can make the delineation of the subject field
clearer, but leave the actual subject text string alone.
If some feel this feature is really needed we should at least have a
customization variable. notmuch-unblank-subject? I don't have any good
name suggestions, though.
jamie.
