Subject: Subject Lines Oops. I for one have been simply "replying" using the previous subject line automatically. Maybe a way out would be for each of us to use sub-titles when we move on to another thing we are reminded of. I know it breaks up the flow of the message but if we all evolve into the same subtitles, I would think a "Search" could eventually then pull all of those items together.
