If you're going to start a new subject, PLEASE start it as a new message, not 
just renaming the subject in an existing message.  It defeats the whole 
purpose of using threads in the message lists.

In order to start a new thread, you must start a new message, not change the 
subject in an existing message and erase the body.  Message threading relies 
on information in the message headers (view full headers to see it), not 
subject.
