I agree that changing a subject (with "(was: )") is nicer to find specific mails later. > So here is what I thought about: What about if everyone (except Junio, > of course) would change the subject _and_ remove the In-Reply-To: header > when replying to those mails? "Everyone should" bla usually does not work in open communities. And why not vice versa? A new "What's cooking in " mail with new cookings could start a new thread instead of replying to old "What's cooking in" mails... > If those large threads just annoys a few people and most people are > happy with the current situation then sorry for the noise. Hm, I don't really care. Mutt is able to link and break threads with # break-thread break the thread in two & link-threads link tagged message to the current one so I am able to design the threads as I like it ;) (And I am also able to change subjects as I like, so I don't have a problem.)
