This can be very annoying, because it breaks the "thread-ness" of 
mailing list threads. It's much easier to follow a thread or know what's 
going on if the subject line is consistent. Also, some e-mail and 
mailing list archiving software won't consider the two e-mails part of 
the same thread - no good.

Changing the subject line of a thread should really only be done when 
the thread has forked. For example, "[chandler-users] Occasional 
problems with mail software (was: Nabble breaks mail threading)".

Just a useful tip, especially if you start posting on mailing lists that 
are patrolled by traditionalists.
