[MlMt] note or subject modification

[aisrael]

Thanks for this interesting discussion. While waiting for the Note 
option, I started modifyng the subject of a bunch of emails, and I find 
quite useful, especially in the situation described by Benny (and 
others). I understand the caveats, but for me, so far, the advantages 
prevail over the disadvantages.
