Best practice for email subject templates

Thanks, but I think we are talking about different things

By default, ALL Discourse emails follow a template subject line which is:

PM subject line
[%{email_prefix}] [PM] %{topic_title}

Notification subject line
[%{email_prefix}] [%{category}] %{topic_title}

The Digest subject line
[%{email_prefix}] Summary

In other words, if you do not customise your subject lines, ALL notifications from the community start to look very similar.

I am wondering if anyone has made any significant changes to these template subject lines (including removing the email_prefix and the [square bracket dividers]) or whether we think that keeping these are good practice in order to inform our members?
