I don't think it's so much changing the subject line as whether you  
get the digest or individual emails and hit reply.

I get the digest because there are too many individual emails from  
people I don't know otherwise. I tend not to read individual emails  
from people I don't know. If I reply to the digest, I think it   
automatically starts a new thread even though I try to put the  
original subject line with a "Re:" in front of it. There's really  
nothing I can do about it.

There are some people who get panties in a wad about people replying  
to the digest but if the whole digest thing is so problematic for  
people, they should not offer it as an option. I don't have any  
control over what my email client does. I do what I can do, and after  
that, it's pretty much out of my hands.
