This is good to know, as I’m also guilty of replying and changing the subject 
line. I’ve never used a threaded view in any mail clients so didn’t know this 
could be causing a problem for others.

Yes, Z did change subject line on an ongoing thread, and he didn't trim the 
post. But, it's not the lack of trimming that's at issue. Taking an existing 
thread, replying to it and changing the subject line - that's hijacking. Those 
with non-web clients that use the mail headers to keep track of conversation 
threads will be surprised a bit...
New threads should have new posts...
It's certainly not a major crime, but perhaps I'm just too old school. Get off 
my lawn.

Z, you hijacked a thread. That's a bit uncool...

However, yes, I've used the Snare client, and it seems to work just
fine. Never had any problems with it. All I do is cast the logs to a
syslog server. Don't have an SEIM in-house yet, but I'm working on it.
