Maybe, as can be the case, what you actually experienced was an occurrence of subjectus-interruptus ( shhhh, I know it's not real Latin; it's what I like to think of as Looney Tunes Latin) whereby the subject line gets cut off due to size restrictions.
Maybe what the subject line was actually suppose to read was:
Your "Invited To Join Senator Herb Kohl's Star Wars Appreciation Party, I Was" commemorative plates, featuring a tasteful portrait of Yoda, are now available for the reasonable price of $29.99.
Sure they may still have forgotten the opening quotation marks, but those are more for clarity and are not, strictly speaking, grammatically necessary.
So, while we can still ask ourselves whether or not they have people to proofread their P.R. e-mails, wouldn't our time be better spent asking the two more important questions this e-mail raises? Those questions are, of course:
1) How did you get an invitation to join Senator Herb Kohl's Star Wars appreciation party? 2) Just how many commemorative plates do you get for $29.99?
(Just so you know this post is intended to be funny and I am not in any way trying to make light of Niminue's question. Unfortunately, I too am usually a little chicken when it comes to e-mailing people about errors in things they have sent me; but what really scares me about e-mails like this is that the Senator probably does have people to check correspondence for grammatical errors, professional people who do that kind of a thing for a living, and yet they still missed it. That's three year-old in a haunted house scary.)
