Actually, that's not a correct statement. At least Liam and Basil
are on a wrong track.

But, if you have a look, he didn't start a new thread! The subject
line is supposed to be a brief "overview" of what's in the mail.
If the topic (or, maybe we might even call it "subject") changes,
it's correct to change the subject contents.

wrong! On the contrary, he's completely right!
