It takes 5 minutes to review an average resume. Yeah, it sucks that the email had no subject, or if the resume has bad typos, or other stuff like that. If the resume is a stinking pile of fail in all ways, then you can safely ignore it. Getting overly anal and rightous about 1 typo on a resume or a missing subject line, or an applicant that didn't realize you spell your name with an I instead of a Y, or have an extra E in your name or other dumb shit is just pretty lame, IMO.
Don't be a prick - cut people some slack.
If his resume impresses you, there is plenty of opportunity to screen for fatal flaws during the rest of the interview process.
You also didn't mention if you're interviewing a CEO or an IC-level person, thou much of my above comments would be the same either way.
