If one really means to keep it within the thread, then OK.  Still don't know
why one would want to change the subject and still consider it the same
thread.  Seems a bit illogical...but then again that's just me.

But, you need not have a client that allows you to adjust the headers.  All
you need to use is the "forward" function and not the "reply" function.
