Conference + work overload = Daryl way behind on his email.

Wow. I think breaking up a thread when the main subject diverges into a
subtopic is a good idea, but Google freaks out about it on this list.
When I changed the subject of the message in my reply when it came back
in to me through gmail Google I got a big yellow box with the
following warning in it.
Yeah - don't do that. You (and others) may think it "breaks up a thread",
but that's not how threading works, and I quite often see newbies who
rather than post a new email, grab an existing mail, change the email
subject and use that instead. It results in the email being weaved into
the same thread with a different subject, and sometimes when I'm time
poor I'll ignore entire threads resulting in your "new email" getting
lost.
I'm glad Google does this - it may break people of the habit.
TL;DR - new topic, new email. Don't modify an existing one.
