I can certainly understand this concern; but it's
a policy of mine _not_ to change subject headers,
because that's how I keep track of which threads
I've read and am interested in. This is
especially vital when a thread is sporadically
replied to over long periods of time. Even months
or a year later some wandering message will come
in with a subject line I recognise: and I'm happy
that the header hadn't changed, because it's
probably something I wanted to see. If you reply
to me using a new subject header a week or so
after my original message; chances are pretty
good I'll miss it, cos I'm looking for the
original subject line.

By the way, I do like the new subject line! ;)

Padraic.
