I keep adding extra info in brackets after the original title, similar to
(updated)
This helps keeping track in RAT view.
Trouble is the title inheritance, I think (brainstorming) :
- that the first retitle should carry both titles New Title (was: Old Title)
- the numbering should continue back to the original root, hence Re^3: New Title (was: Old Title)
- the old-title should be automatically stripped in further replies Re^4: New Title
- comments like (updated) should be stripped too, it's total nonsense that this is inherited.
- in case a sub-thread is promoted to a proper thread the original context and title should be preserved in the root-node (but not the numbering)
I repeat these are theoretical thoughts, I'm sure we won't be able to implement it anyway.
A clean implementation would require an extended data model.
Otherwise this would rely on heuristics to be coded ... which would become ugly when renumbering.
