Many mail platforms, especially mobile ones, don’t support more than 50 or 60 characters. The “from&# address tells your recipients a lot, and they’ll more likely open mail from an address they recognize. Make sure your subject line accurately reflects the content of the message.

I have a really good spam filter ( Spam bayse ), I use rules/filters to direct project related email and listserv email to folders, and am fairly good at "zeroing" out my inbox.

Open rates can be an unreliable metric due to spam filters, preview panes and image blocking -- all of which make it hard to know whether someone is actually opening (or reading) an email. Segment, test and repeat. However, as online programs have matured, the decline in the performance of email has slowed.
