Note that for people that use mail software that supports threading, even
changing the subject line may not be sufficient - there's another E_mail
header.  For this note, it says:

References: <267163c2.1f570.149a3108a46.Coremail.michaelbest002 at 126.com> <CAAZ733vy8Q952mYLrDVFHPd_fULd0=9Ja=XczgFbtCg7APONKg at mail.gmail.com>
            <CAAZ733sk1+SweRe-D8kwx4tQnStUbBBSavZh3PZ0Gu2Bc5tHHg at mail.gmail.com>

and can be used by the software to group all posts in the thread together,
and even ignore an entire thread.  It's also what most web archives use
for "display by thread".  So for instance, since I changed the Subject:
line, but did *not* clean up References:, this still shows up under "How to
disable fault-around by debugfs" in the archives:

http://lists.kernelnewbies.org/pipermail/kernelnewbies/2014-November/thread.html

Moral:  Just start with a fresh new post to the list. :)
