I hate reading an email message (or forum post, etc) whose body just says "Subject says it all." The purpose of a subject field is to provide a summary of the content of a message, e.g. for an index list. In particular, the subject should not provide any information that is not also in the body. If you come up with a subject line and then discover you really have nothing more to say, it's a simple matter to copy-and-paste the subject line into the body.
Even worse is a message that starts with "Subject says it all." and then goes on to say more things. All means all! There's no more after all!
