There is really no need for this nowadays. 

The multiscreen patch, that allows you to keep many instances of editors
and viewers open within one mc session has been merged in the master
branch and is available from version 4.7.3 on (if I am not mistaken).

If I remember correctly it adds a menu with all the running instances of
editors and viewers and the names of the files edited or viewed should
be visible from within this window.

Alternatively, you can consider using screen or tmux and as mc now shows
pwd in the terminal title, keeping track of which instance does what is
quite trivial.

Oh wait, I vaguely remember, that I already suggested this to you, but
got no reply or something... Hmmm. I definitively need to refresh my
memory.

Is it preventing you from typing the actual subject in the Subject field
of the email as previously requested many times? 

I have noticed that you came up with a good subject in the body of the
message, so all you need to do now is to make a small step further and
actually paste it into the Subject field of the message.
