Interesting in theory, but I really don't know how practical it would be in reality.
I'm sure there are exceptions but I'd most likely immediately delete an e-mail with a weird subject line from someone I didn't know.
Even if I did read an e-mail because of an inventive subject line, it'd probably only buy 5 more seconds of my attention because :
1.) I'd either feel that the person wasn't 100% sane
or
2.) That they'd manipulated me into opening the e-mail, which is a quick way to kill trust
JackThreads does this all the time and although it may prompt me to open the email, I only take a look at it for like 5 seconds to see what it is about and then delete it.

I agree with you.
