LGTM if what I point out below is okay.  Technically this changes the
behavior of this code, but what it did before was obviously wrong (if
you do roll a new version, I'd mention this in the commit message; but
no need to do that just for this).

Is subject necessarily a string at this point?  Previously this only
ran if the code determined there was a thread at point.
