I could make "What's cooking" not a follow-up to the previous issue, or
perhaps add "(volume 1.6.0, issue 28)" at the end of the Subject.

But I think it is a good idea to change the subject when responding to one
part of the message to say which topic your response is about.

I do not know if stripping "In-reply-to" is a great idea, though.  They
are responses, aren't they?
