Please change the subject line if appropriate.
Rather than ask anyone person directly I would like to politely request that people try to change the subject line a little more often.
I'm finding it extremely confusing to try and follow all these different threads with the same subject lines. (It would probably be easier if did something to break up the list digest and got my mailer to thread everthing nicely but I would still very much appreciate it).
Thanks in advance.
Replies offlist please if necessary.

Actually, for a mail archive, or something that shows threads nicely (like Mozilla T-bird here), keeping the subject lines helps. Not all of the readers I have used know how to use the message ID's.
Now, if the mail agents could handle something like:
Subject: Blah blah Was: Re: original blah
that would be cool, but that is not universal either.
Maybe someone could set up HyperNews for this list. It somewhat blurs the email and newsgroup worlds together, provides the abilities of both.
