It is by design.
If you are using Outlook as your e-mail application, you could use a macro
to set the subject as whatever you want eg
Sub Send_As_Mail_Attachment()
' send the document as an attachment _
in an Outlook Email message
Dim bStarted As Boolean
Dim oOutlookApp As Outlook.Application
Dim oItem As Outlook.MailItem
On Error Resume Next
'Prompt the user to save the document
ActiveDocument.Save
'Get Outlook if it's running
Set oOutlookApp = GetObject(, "Outlook.Application")
'Outlook wasn't running, start it from code
If Err <> 0 Then
Set oOutlookApp = CreateObject("Outlook.Application")
bStarted = True
End If
'Create a new mailitem
Set oItem = oOutlookApp.CreateItem(olMailItem)
With oItem
' .to = "(e-mail address removed)"
'Set the recipient for a blind copy
' .BCC = "(e-mail address removed)"
.Subject = ActiveDocument.BuiltInDocumentProperties(wdPropertyTitle)
'Add the document as an attachment, you can use the _
.displayname property
'to set the description that's used in the message
.Attachments.Add Source:=ActiveDocument.FullName, _
Type:=olByValue, DisplayName:="Document as attachment"
.Display
End With
'Clean up
Set oItem = Nothing
Set oOutlookApp = Nothing
End Sub
