Apparently, --subject doesn't work[1] with "git send-email" in
this context.  So drop the CLI arg and add a note to tell the
user to set a "Subject:" line in their response body, instead.

[1] I'm not sure if --subject ever worked as I thought it would,
    or if it's a regression.  In either case, there are current
    versions of git where it doesn't, so just tell users to use
    the currently supported method.
