In mobile view, display first line of post when subject is empty

[jesse_the_k]

Title:
In mobile view, display first line of post when subject is empty

Area:
mobile display

Summary:
Browsing the mobile interface one sees many "(no subject)" entries. Replacing this with the first line on the post would provide more information for the "should I click?" decision.

Description:
The styles I've used so far all display a post's title as the third line; when there is no title, initial words from the post are displayed instead. My suggestion would be to duplicate this behavior with the mobile interface.

Ooh, yes please!

Maybe some minimal formatting (square brackets? italics? ellipsis?) to indicate that this isn't a very odd subject line.

I'm only commenting here to point out that some people do not use mobile posting (myself included). So this suggestion has no relevance to those of us who don't mobile.

This suggestion is only talking about replacing the subject with the first line on the mobile view, not when viewing on any other pages.
