That is *exactly* what Andre is saying. Please do not do this.
Threading on mailing lists does not depend on what's in the Subject
line. It's managed by headers which normally are not shown to the user
(but can be seen by hitting Ctrl-U on a message if you're interested),
so starting a reply and editing the Subject doesn't create a new
thread, it simply continues an old one but with a completely different
topic. This is called "thread hijacking" and is considered poor
netiquette.

Always start a new topic by composing a fresh message, not a reply of
any kind.
