Personnally I understand that. E-mail subject is supposed to give a
summary of the message body.

In a perfect world, everybody would change the subject after writing
their emails, no MUA would be broken, and people would be productive
since they would easily spot the most interesting e-mails in their
boxes. 

Now everything is not perfect, and I don't want to argue as to whether
Jim is right or not. I just understand what he does, as well as I
understand that it is a pain for those using broken MUAs.
