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