I believe the way to treat a changing subject is with the magic word
"olim", which is Latin for something like "used to be". E.g.:
To crop or not [olim Julian Bream on lute]

Subject: [LUTE] Re: how about changing the subject too!
And again, the issue of which thread is which....
I agree that, when creating a new discussion, it should have a new
topic. But, replying to a discussion that is underway requires keeping
the same topic so that the thread makes sense...even if the content of
the thread no longer matches the topic.
Isn't email etiquette fun...

Subject: [LUTE] how about changing the subject too!
While we are ranting about whether to crop or not, how about paying
attention to, and changing, the Subject !!
Ed changed the topic from Bream to long messages, but didn't change the
subject line. Leonard tried desperately to change the Subject: line
but David quickly brought it back to what was no longer being
discussed.
I am sure Julian Bream, being very attentive to detail, would change
the Subject: line *and* edit his replies!
