I was expecting it to break --compose, but it didn't because in there
we were using $initial_subject directly instead.
AFAIK; I couldn't see a difference eitherway, but as Peff pointed out
it doesn't make sense leaving it only as a global so just found
instead a more useful place for it to be reset in the loop, which also
"fix" another issue of mine.
As pointed out in my original email; it doesn't fix the whole problem
though, because you still want to edit the rest of the cover letter
(could use --annotate for that though), but at least it is less
awkward than the current situation, where you will get the series
submission aborted because of an incorrect subject, even if a correct
one was provided and ended up being ignored.
