Hmmm. Editing the Subject: field on the other hand, seems to bork the
message threading (I did it too). :( I guess the non-displayed mail
headers get changed by the newsfeed. So, when replying to a thread
(from the newsfeed), leaving the Subject: field unchanged is probably
a good idea - the Debian list server must resort to using the Subject:
field to try to thread replies that have otherwise skewed headers?
There is always a bottleneck somewhere...
