Description

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
Would like to add journal name to subject headings in default sections (e.g., Review request for My Journal)

Describe the solution you'd like
Allow use of variable interpolation in email subjects

dev notes
Consider what context should be provided to email subjects (i.e. should probably be the same as what is passed in for the body for consistency, but may want other elements too)

Research direction

No files or tests are named. Start by locating the code that builds default email subjects and the context passed to email bodies; determine which journal data and interpolation syntax are supported. Done means journal-specific variables work in subjects while existing subject behavior remains intact, with tests covering the new behavior.
