Hi!

How do you reply to a message in a thread, change the
subject and start a new thread?

I mean, I can do all this by hand, but perhaps there is
already a command for doing this?

Suppose that while reading a thread you get motivated to
reply to something that has nothing to do with the thread,
but you need to quote it. Basically you reply to the list
(and perhaps CC the original author), change the subject,
perhaps using a common formula:
New Subject (Was: Re: Old thread)
remove the In-Reply-To or Mail-Followup-To fields so that
the message does indeed start a new thread (at least in MUAs
that thread reasonably well).

Anything else that should get changed/touched? Something I
missed? Perhaps it is not a good idea to remove some
headers?

Thanks in advance for any tip/suggestion.

Fernan
