Why this works
**Why this works.** The subject line leads with [Overdue] as a status label before the task name, which forces the recipient to process urgency first and decide whether to act now, rather than burying the deadline miss inside body copy. The pattern here is "status precedes content"; you can lift it for any activity update or notification email where you need users to triage based on severity before they decide to open or ignore.
