It is common for conversation threads to have a subject like \"re: re: re: re: Greetings\" the contents of said message is often times weeks or months apart and thus the subject has little or no value to the contents of the messages.\r\n\r\nOne reason this problem occurs is because people tend to browse to an old conversation and click \"reply\" which does just that. Most mail clients assume the user is actually \"replying\" to the previous message. Sometimes is this is true, but many times it is not.\r\n\r\n**removable of subject lines**\r\nGmail, other mail clients, and Facebook Messages tried to solve this problem by hiding the subject line all together and making the content be about the conversations- only displaying the message content\r\n\r\n\r\n**the searching problem**\r\nHowever, stripping away the subject field makes it very hard to search for conversation threads over time as there is absolutely zero grouping of message threads\r\n\r\n\r\n**intelligently suggest new subject**\r\n\r\nAs @BjarniRunar said, perhaps we can \"detect that you are replying to a 2 week old mail and ask if the subject is the same and help out there instead of just hiding the subject line\" \r\n\r\nOne solution could be a \"new message\" button next to the reply button on all (or only older) emails.\r\n\r\nIn this context subject lines for searchability- they become more like \"tags\" for blog posts only less broad and more specific."},"comment":{"url":"https://api.github.com/repos/mailpile/Mailpile/issues/comments/73090546","html_url":"https://github.com/mailpile/Mailpile/issues/115#issuecomment-73090546","issue_url":"https://api.github.com/repos/mailpile/Mailpile/issues/115","id":73090546,"user":{"login":"gilgongo","id":4561747,"avatar_url":"https://avatars.githubusercontent.com/u/4561747?v=3","gravatar_id":"","url":"https://api.github.com/users/gilgongo","html_url":"https://github.com/gilgongo","followers_url":"https://api.github.com/users/gilgongo/followers","following_url":"https://api.github.com/users/gilgongo/following{/other_user}","gists_url":"https://api.github.com/users/gilgongo/gists{/gist_id}","starred_url":"https://api.github.com/users/gilgongo/starred{/owner}{/repo}","subscriptions_url":"https://api.github.com/users/gilgongo/subscriptions","organizations_url":"https://api.github.com/users/gilgongo/orgs","repos_url":"https://api.github.com/users/gilgongo/repos","events_url":"https://api.github.com/users/gilgongo/events{/privacy}","received_events_url":"https://api.github.com/users/gilgongo/received_events","type":"User","site_admin":false},"created_at":"2015-02-05T17:40:06Z","updated_at":"2015-02-05T17:40:06Z","body":"@nkoehring While a \"friends\" feature as you describe might well be useful, it doesn't address the issue being discussed here, which is the commonly-observed phenomenon of people using their inbox to contact somebody, regardless of whether they regularly correspond with them or not. \r\n\r\nHence my suggestion to combine the inbox with the address book. \"Friends\" might be a sub-feature of that, of course. Combining would cover the use case of recalling *what* you were talking about with somebody, but not necessarily recalling *who*, as well as the other way around. So in both cases you could go to your \"what\" place, which would be the combined inbox/address book.\r\n"}}
