I will say it: I like the idea. I have so often been irritated by people who do not understand threads and use Reply to start a new one that I would rather accept some of the opposite hate. It is bound to be rarer, at least so it seems. I also think it could be fixed by Gmail providing a button to let clueful people reinstate the headers explicitly after editing the subject. An option to make this the permanent default should further help those who know what they are doing. I share the curmudgeonly sentiment.
