+> \r
+> What do you think ?\r
+\r
+I think this would be fantastic. I've proposed unconditionally\r
+showing the earliest subject before and it seems that people who\r
+correspond mostly with those who have good threading etiquette would\r
+prefer this change, but those who correspond with more people who use\r
+'reply' like an address book prefer the current behavior.\r
+\r
+Another option, which I'd like to experiment with but haven't found\r
+the time, is to show *all* distinct subjects for matched messages in a\r
+thread (modulo "Re:", etc) in the summary buffer, probably on multiple\r
+lines. Since most threads only have a single unique subject, they\r
+would appear just as they do now, but it would be clear when someone\r
+(or something, like git) changed the subject mid-thread. This\r
+approach would be far more robust while retaining good usability, but\r
+it would require more code than just changing our subject-picking\r
+heuristic.\r
