I'm going to make a quick comment as a moderator.  

Jim, while I understand your point, (if the mail client is broken, get
one that works) it does seem that several people use gmail for various
reasons.  I've always thought the thing to do was put subject x (was
subject y). 

Sometimes, the subject changes seem gratuitous.  (And other times they
don't) 

Now, if the RFC says you should not have to change the subject line,
that's well and good--on the other hand, it does seem that if you take
the trouble to change the subject line, it might be a reasonable request
to add that [was whatever].

Note that this a request and NOT a demand.  It's simply an effort to
avoid having the same discussion come up--Godwin knows that gmail is
broken, many newcomers won't.

Again, this is a REQUEST only, simply to try to make things a bit easier
for the newcomers (rather than Godwin, who can deal with it) and avoid
more long threads about it.

Buffy: What? What do you think is happening? 
Angel: You're 16 years old, I'm 241. 
Buffy: I've done the math. 
Angel: You don't know what you're doing. You don't know what you 
want. 
Buffy: Oh, no. I think I do. I want out of this conversation.
