In some places the subject line may be regareded aa a crime unless
its author can present an acceptable proof of it.

It is often regarded as a bad manner to put names of people
to the subject line.

According to Wiktionary https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/lie#Etymology_2
a possible meaning is 'To be mistaken or unintentionally spread false
information'.
