Hello, I use it but it is not an absolute necessity ;-) -- C'est parce que la vitesse de la lumière est supérieure à celle du son, que certains ont l'air brillant avant d'avoir l'air con.

Mail clients usually use "In-Reply-To:" or "References:" headers to thread mails. But it seems gmail is also using subjects for this. However according to this, text inside square brackets is ignored : http://www.quora.com/Is-it-possible-to-change-or-add-words-to-the-subject-of-a-Gmail-email-and-keep-it-in-the-same-thread So if we add '[New]' instead of 'New:' in the subject, maybe this would fix the problem with gmail ?

(I don't use it extensively but I did test some email clients, mainly to ease my job in the triage team in Mandriva, and now in Mageia, but since I mostly use the bug report web page in bugzilla, using gmail (web mail) in firefox is the best solution so far, even though the bug mail threads get broken all the time). Up till now, stormi and boklm (the latter wants to bring back adding the "Resolved" to the subject of closed bugs :)), find this useful, along with others who think it's "nice to have it". I can't ask for the removal of this "feature" just to suit my usage. (Now, if I'd asked dmorgan to just remove the "New:" keyword from new bug reports email Subject when we started using bugzilla, without asking, no one would have noticed; yeah, democracy is bad sometimes :)). -- Ahmad Samir

I don't use it for filtering, but I don't find it objectionable either. (Just so I am completely honest, I'd like it removed, hence my asking how many people this feature is useful for). Fine by me, even though I kind of like it. It really doesn't add anything that you can't see by the threads. For those who use the title for filtering, filtering by thread works better, as the title is often changed as the bug is refined. -- André

It's easier to follow the subject in mail client software. If the subject will change with bug life, I am not sure Thunderbird can group all messages as a conversation.

I hadn't noticed that :) It's immediately apparent on reading the email, whether or not it's a new bug, but if that string is useful to some people, then I don't have any problem with it. Jim
