By title, I presume you mean "Subject: ". 

It is as ESR/RM describe in:

No. That's funny. I never even thought of that. 
If readers are so inclined, they could easily configure good 
email programs to hide letters from any particular sender. 

Actually, with a specific "Subject: " readers could decide 
whether or not to read a letter without having to open the 
letter first, so I'm making it easier to skip letters.
