I can recall getting messages from 3 of my former bosses that were all caps. The one I mentioned it to said it was quicker for him so he didn't have to try and remember capitalization rules. :) I can also recall numerous help desk emails that were all caps. In some cases, I believe the users really would have been yelling if the conversation had happened on the phone. I'm not against having the rule. I think the score should be kept low though. I've sent all caps subject lines numerous times. Acronyms are a wonderful thing. I'd hate to have been scored high because of that.
