[MacDV] Changing the Subject

I know it is sometimes tempting to augment or otherwise improve the
Subject line of a message when replying to it.

But please resist the temptation unless you are actually changing the topic.

Some e-mail systems (Gmail, in my case), group messages with the same
subject together, so that the threads can be read as a unit.

If you change the Subject in your reply, even with the goal of making
it more descriptive, your message gets split off from the other
messages in the thread.

Thanks for your consideration. :-)
