There's a reason that mail clients provide two distinct features for “new mail” and “reply to”. A new mail creates a new thread and a reply to creates an “In-Reply-To:” header. > 2) I would assume that e-mail clients and forums would be smart enough > to check the > subject like and react appropriately. You sent a message containing: In-Reply-To: <9cbfd630-fefd-4f75-9e3c-d6ba53b27...@web.de> And that's exactly how email clients should display the message, as a reply to the message with the given Message-ID. It's totally valid to change the “Subject” line keeping the thread. An email client has no built-in crystal ball which could prophesy your intentions. > At least my e-mail client handles these things gracefully. I would consider filing a bug report. Marco
