Here’s the opposite:
About a month ago, I got a message with the subject,
“From the President” and a man’s name in the From: field.
Off to the trash, naturally. A few days later, my friend asked about the letter to all alumni from the new President of our University.
I never got it, I replied. Well, he forwards it to me, and lo and behold.
Seriously, someone should have alerted the nice man to that problem…
“Give us a call right away” or something to that effect (or worse) would be deadly. Of course, if that ever happens I’ll have to follow through on my threat to become a secret, spam-fighting super hero.
I keep getting mail from female names with the subject line “Hi honey” or “I miss you”. I think they may actually be targeted towards women who read their man’s email.
I was forced to open one that used a man’s name (we’ll call him Tom) as the sender, with a subject line of “About our dinner plans”. My boss is named [Tom] and even though we didn’t have any dinner plans, I couldn’t see just trashing it.
Last year, when I was ordering a lot of stuff online, something like “about your order” or “a problem with your order” would have worked on me.
Um, you all do realize that spammers may actually read this thread and send out emails accordingly…

I can’t believe I misspelled my name. Comes from typing too fast…

‘Server problems’ would probably hook me

“You’re fired. Have your desk cleared out by noon tomorrow.”
I hate those.
For the livejournal addicts: Reply to your post…
I’m sort of surprised no one’s doing that yet.
Why do you think I cleverly disguised my boss’s name in my post? They’re not fooling me twice! 
“Make money at home selling non-prescription Viagra in order to refinance the mortgage on your bigger penis”
“Free one-pound box of candy with first order”
“Long-lost medieval literary work found”
“Desperately seeking new home for cat”
“Time machine invented”
“Baby pictures” (I have a one-month-old niece)
Or even
See SDMB Moderators Naked. :eek: 
They made you look at lovely lesbians, and you call it being suckered? 
Hey spammers! Sucker me! 
I got this one today, and remembered this thread. It did make me open it.

Subject: Has it been awhile?
It was just so… blatently obviously spam that I had to open it. There’s something wrong with me.
I think something like “Free books!”, which would clearly be spam, would get me. And those innocuous ones like “Hi!” that people have mentioned are pretty sneaky.
Yeah, the small talk ones can be pretty insidious; I often fall for those. However, one tipoff so obvious I’ve set one of my mail accounts to filter it out all the time is when they try to guess my screen name or real name from my email address. I never use screen names that precisely match my email.
Some of those spammers have sometimes really got me annoyed to think I would even be interested in their messages. I’m tempted to write an open letter to them one of these days making fun of the useless garbage they sell. Watch for it in MPSIMS sometime.
Lactation for fun and profit!
I can’t think of any subject line that a spammer could use that would get me to open the message. I just delete anything from an address I don’t recognize.
