Same here. I always thought that changing the subject line, when appropriate,
was the correct thing to do.
This is as opposed to starting a new thread. Sometimes folks want to be able
to see how the subject has morphed, but new readers should have some idea of
what's being discussed.
I have also not noticed threading breaking when I do that. This is with Kmail
and Thunderbird.
