As you can probably see, the subject line on this message is also blank.

The reason for that is that the software that works as a gateway between
IBM Mail and the Internet doesn't convert subject lines properly. Even
though I, when I write a message, put a subject line on the message,
the gateway software throws it away.

So next time, before you start biting peoples heads off, you could
try to assume that other people can think for themselves too, and
that there _maybe_ is a good reason for something.
