Note that some people _do_ disagree with me. Especially
since GMail came out and not only sorts on subject, but
correlates on subject.
I try to only append the subject as necessary for a major
focus, leaving the original root subject, and following up
without change. That way it best addresses all things --
especially the archives and Google searches (just like UseNet
threading/searches before that).
The main problem is for mail readers that don't track
Message-ID. This is extremely common today thanx to most
simple webmail services. Even my prior web service didn't
honor this, so I avoided subject appending.
Yahoo Mail seems to track Message-ID fully, and that's why I
switched. It's free, although it's $20/year if you want
extra features (like the ability to change the From:
address).
