Loris,

Apparently you replied to a different email then changed the subject.  Email clients that thread conversations based on "in-reply-to" will lump your supposedly new thread in with the one you replied to.  That guarantees a reduced audience of readers, especially considering the email you replied to.

You should repost by composing a brand new email.
