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.
