For us, the 'thanks email' is mostly a way of closing off an email thread for the time being. It almost serves as a punctuation mark. If a client sends us a bunch of edits, we'll respond with a "got it, thanks!" to let them know that we have everything and they needn't worry about us having received their edits. Conversely, our clients will send us a thanks to let us know that they're happy with our latest round of edits and we can move on until we hear from them later.

I've never encountered the massive subject line before, but the biggest annoyance for us in the office is the dreaded red exclamation point. Clients love to use the "highest priority" setting for emails and more often than not, the email is completely unjustified. And then when it is, it's just annoying. We're not exactly swamped with emails constantly, so it's not like we wouldn't get around to it anyway. In the grand scheme of things, it's not really a big deal though.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

I seriously dislike super-long signatures to an email. Contact information is fine, but when you have all sorts of ASCII promo shit in your signature, or even worse, some ridiculous quotes, I find it hard to take the person seriously.
The most common signature that I've seen over the years is like this:

--------------------
First Last | Position
Company
Address
City, State, 10001
P 555-555-5555
M 555-555-5555
F 555-555-5555
email@email.gay
--------------------

Then at the bottom, usually some sort of environmental thing saying "please consider the environment before printing out this email"

Anything more than that tends to be excessive, but I do like having all of that info readily available in the event that I need to get in touch with any clients with the quickness. What annoys me is when they include a small JPEG company logo, because by the time we reach the 20th email in our thread, the attachment list is full of multiple copies of the same 4KB image.

There's nowhere I can't reach.
