Of course, they're still there, but +their subject being masked, one may then grep or C-s for a particular +subject and miss them. + +I think it would be interesting to allow notmuch to potentially keep the +original subject and not the most recent one for the thread summaries. + +What do you think ? + +Best regards, +-- +Olivier BERGER +http://www-public.it-sudparis.eu/~berger_o/ - OpenPGP-Id: 2048R/5819D7E8 +Ingenieur Recherche - Dept INF +Institut Mines-Telecom, Telecom SudParis, Evry (France) + -- 2.26.2
