It's mostly because putting an informative Subject helps the recipient
sort emails and determine quickly what's important and what's not. It's
part of the "good rules" of internet, and email client developers tend
to like these rules and help people stick to it.

In case of encrypted email, you can either put no subject, vague
subjects, or even have fun with the NSA and tease them ;)
