I've gotten several replies to the question, and based on the answers they're from people who know. I promised to post the answer:

Yes. Depending on the email client [and possibly how the user has it set up to thread emails], changing the subject line *could* do something like start a new thread, especially if the email header block is changed. OTOH, if the content of the email has drifted far enough from the subject that changing the subject makes sense, by all means do. A string of threaded emails where the subject says nothing about the content isn't real useful.

Question:  Does changing the subject line foul up those who read their
email as a threaded list?
