> I’m finding that we are not getting many replies to welcome PMs and there is a chance that the formulaic nature of the subject line, at least for PMs is making them be missed, ignored or treated as spam.

We can’t assess your question without seeing the body of the message. The subject on its own won’t cause a person to reply, so it should be treated all together.

Also, why would a person reply? Do you ask questions, with question marks? If they don’t have a reason to reply, they won’t.
