I object to that, and not just in this case. Nothing prevents you from starting a new thread or filing a new bug, and even using "[was: Info header line does not...]". It hasn't happened yet in this case, but injecting a new topic can cause threads to diverge and the original topic to become lost. It happens quite often in emacs-devel. Everyone has done it, including me. Very few people ever intentionally hijack a thread, but it happens quite often unintentionally. The risk is always there, but it is strongest when the new topic is more controversial than the original - people jump in to argue about the sidetrack. A casual side proposal about key bindings or colors is almost sure to set some people off, and can easily lead a thread astray. In this case, I myself might want to contribute to a discussion about link underlining (haven't thought about it), but I'm not going to do that within this thread. > (I think telling about it in a context like this may be better > than making it a separate proposal, but I am not sure.) Absolutely not. Yes, context helps. But nothing prevents you from copying some of the context to a new thread. You can even keep the original subject with "was", for reference. It's hard enough to keep people focused on rational argument, without adding forks in the path.
