That's what I meant. I agree changing subject lines is no
good practice at all.

Anyway, sometimes you have to do weird things. A customer
complained because I always remove the most of the quoted
and pre-quoted text. So he has to search his whole mailbox
for all the previous mails it refers to. He obiously never
heard anything of neither mail filtering nor does his mail
client feature threaded views. It doesn't even send
In-Reply-To headers.
