This article is not much documented in internet, but I have confirmed it works if we follow the below instructions.
To enable subject logging in maillog, open "sendmail.mc" in your favourite editor ( I prefer vi) and add following lines in it and save it. You may add it at the bottom of sendmail.mc file or somewhere before MAILER definitions (choice is yours).
The last line is very crucial. After R$* press tab key. Then after $: press space key.

Rebuild the sendmail configuration or restart sendmail.
You should be now able to find subject in sendmail logs:
