When does "Your group has been updated" or "Response from [by?] the group" appear in the subject bar when attemptimg to enter the first letter of the subject in the subject bar after composing in email? This is a general question, it's not about gmail or outlook or other ones, or about anyone person in particular.

There won’t be any general answer to this question, because this is something that some specific email program is doing. Most email programs do not do this. Which program or web site are you using to compose email when this happens? If you can take a screenshot (or copy and paste the exact message), that would also help.

Could this be autocomplete? Like it’s trying to fill in the subject line with one you’ve used previously? So you start typing a word that begins with Y and it autofills “your group has been updated”? Honestly I don’t know if that’s the most likely option but it’s one possibility.

I have never seen that in any email program I've ever used. Where are you seeing this?

A google search for '"Your group has been updated" email' returns no results relevant to your question.

Either your browser or mail client is doing this and it is specific to your setup, not something general.
