Hmm, why do people consider this a problem? People apologize for
resurrecting a thread on occasion, I never understood why.
I see two possibilities: if I deleted the old messages, reusing the
thread has no effect for me except a Reply-to which I don't see, and a
"Re:" in the subject. If I still have the old messages, I don't need
to look for context in case I need it. The first scenario is a meh,
the second is a win.
