In this case, I assume "prefix" means to add or attach something to the beginning of the subject. This is not the most common usage of the term, but it is still fully acceptable; "prefix" is defined as "a word, number, or letter placed before another," or "to add something at the beginning as a prefix or introduction."



Possible synonyms: add, attach, affix, adhere



So in context, this probably suggests using an action-oriented word at the very start of the subject line.

Attach to the beginning of the message. A synonym might be:



affix, tack on, append, or even connect
