Title:
Change subject line of emails to make threading even better

Area:
notifications

Summary:
Thread top-level comments and lower-level replies together, e.g. when tracking an entry. So instead of getting two different threads in Gmail for each entry, you just have one, with the top-level and reply comments in order, instead of spread across two conversations.

Description:
I just noticed something with the new threading - because "Reply to an entry" and "Reply to a comment" have different subject lines, they get treated as differerent conversations, even if the comment is on that entry. So if you're tracking, say, a news post, the top-level comments will be in a different conversation from the replies to those comments, which isn't ideal.

I'd personally prefer it to just have the subject of the entry...

Reply to "Some entry" [dw-biz #1053]...

No matter why -- i.e., get rid of "Edited reply to your comment", "Reply to your comment", "Reply to your post", etc. in the subject line - leave the content of the email as it is, so you know who said what, but just collapse the subjects so you get the whole conversation in one email thread.
