Stupidity, ignorance, and/or apathy are not good reasons for breaking thoughtful, long-lived, and useful standards and tradition. Of course, they aren't good reasons for keeping them either. References transfers the intent of the composer [Reply vs. New Mail] in a way that a Subject does not. As I mentioned in my other email, this is a desired feature, not a bug. -- "If there's one thing we've established over the years, it's that the vast majority of our users don't have the slightest clue what's best for them in terms of package stability." -- Gentoo Developer Ciaran McCreesh
