Do you write your entire message in the Subject line?

It bugs me too, but a lot of people here do it.

So... When I send out an email with the title "Lunch?" and the body is composed entirely of my default signature as well as a repeat of the word lunch, do you get angry?

I can't stand it as well.

For short stuff, it's ok, but if we do it, we EOM (end of message) it. It's not abused here either. More like a

Subject: Home sick today 1/22/07 <EOM>

Fixed.

If it's a message something like "Call me when you get a chance," what should the subject be?

That should be your subject, and in the body you should say why. I hate it when people email me to call them with no mention of why, when I could probably answer their question via email in 5 seconds.

On a tangent, this reminds me of another annoyance of mine. We have a public calendar that my boss has encouraged everyone to use. I religiously plan out my schedule on it every morning, and update as the day goes by. What does he do? He sends out half a dozen emails throughout the day updating everyone on what he is doing. Or some days, he doesn't let anyone know by any means whatsoever (like today). I haven't seen a calendar entry by him since the first day we set it up. My favorite is when he emails me to ask what I'm doing or if I'll be in the office that day...um, it's right there on the calendar.
