Request's email subject defaults to "Freedom of Information Request" - should be responsive to jurisdiction #456

So, I was trying to figure out why we kept getting responses like this one: https://muckrock.s3.amazonaws.com/foia_files/2015/06/26/SPolice_Dis15062616010.pdf and this one: https://www.muckrock.com/foi/tennessee-155/government-employee-state-salary-data-19060/ Stating that these departments were not subject to FOIA, when the actual request itself has the correct language. So I took a look at diagnostics, and saw this: foia Again, we do have the correct language in the body paragraph, so they are being dicks, but we shouldn't give them any more opportunities to get one over this than we need to. Is there an easy way to have the email subject pull from the correct law language?

This is an open issue that's been partially resolved, we just need to update for each state:

Maybe a task for an intern? Should be pretty straightforward.
