Add subject line best practices to emails/nurture handbook

Jackie Gragnola requested to merge jax-subject-lines into master

Why is this change being made?

To add overall recommendations for subject lines specifically. @nbsmith in looking at the results of the Commit emails, there were outstanding open rates. How can teams produce similar results? What are some of your recommendations that we can point people to?

Please feel free to link to other resources - the Corp team was hoping to learn from you and pointing them to the handbook may be a good setup (and we can point other email copy writing team members there as well!)

I started to write some things in then thought, I should probably leave this to the expert 😅
