May I add one thing to this?:
When you change subject lines would you please preserve the original
subject? Like this:
[new subject] (was: [old subject])
This would be much clearer for people who do not have threaded mail-clients
(and threaded mail clients tend do drop the threading occassionally so
this would be no luxury even if everybody used such clients).
