Two things...

[a] Forward, into the past: A long time ago, in a galaxy far, far
away, the Usenet used "Title:" rather than "Subject:".  Read your
installation guide for information regarding A News compatibility, and
read RFC1036 for an example of "the old format."

[b] Your proposed use of "Title:" rather closely matches the intended
use of the already-defined "Summary:" header.  Again, see RFC1036.
