I don't think there was any bad intent in the changed email, but the 
point is that if the OT message was posted this way it will probably 
happen again.

Email message headers contain a thread-index number. Any decent email 
program groups the messages into threads using this (normally hidden) 
information. If you hit REPLY this thread information is put into the 
new message header; changing the subject field does not start a new 
thread. You need to write a new message, not hit reply, or your message 
may start an off-topic chain that does hijack the original thread.

We all make mistakes, but if no one points out the problem it probably 
will continue.
