Care to tell me what, rather than writing such a cryptic reply?

But by then the damage is done, as it were. For example, last week I
posted a message to this mailing list without a subject. The
resulting thread had the subject 'Re: (no subject)'. A few days
later, someone else did the same thing. For anyone who sorts their
messages by subject, the two 'threads' would be merged.

I'm not suggesting making everything optional.

Other than you feeling it is unnecessary, what is it exactly that you
have against this feature request? It would help me, others have said
it would help them. It certainly wouldn't do any harm.
