+Actually, no, thunderbird doesn't break the thread of a bug due to
+this issue, as it doesn't use just the subject to group emails.

+(I don't use it extensively but I did test some email clients, mainly
+to ease my job in the triage team in Mandriva, and now in Mageia, but
+since I mostly use the bug report web page in bugzilla, using gmail
+(web mail) in firefox is the best solution so far, even though the bug
+mail threads get broken all the time).
+
+Up till now, stormi and boklm (the latter wants to bring back adding
+the "Resolved" to the subject of closed bugs :)), find this useful,
+along with others who think it's "nice to have it". I can't ask for
+the removal of this "feature" just to suit my usage.
+
+(Now, if I'd asked dmorgan to just remove the "New:" keyword from new
+bug reports email Subject when we started using bugzilla, without
+asking, no one would have noticed; yeah, democracy is bad sometimes
+:)).
