So the short version is: only hit reply if you intend to keep the topic within the thread.
If we go off-topic, then we ought to create a brand-new email, not just hit replay; otherwise, we drag email addresses and related threads upon threads in, and we end up with 293 comments (I hear, but haven't seen them myself).

The new archive can track threads in detail. Therefore, a thread emerged here, which began in 2018 and was confused in this way.
Therefore, it is a good idea to follow a simple rule that a new thread must start as a new message, not in response to some unrelated message in which the subject and content will be replaced.
Which is, I believe, the defacto standard.
