Is that why it's frowned upon to use a current thread to start a new one? Like doing a 'reply to' and then changing the subject line?
Yup. Even if you change the subject, the email headers still remain and many email clients use the email headers to group the mails relevant to that conversation
By that token, adding [SOLVED] is not such a problem after all!
I personally find it useful to see [SOLVED] without having to open each post to find which one in a long thread contains the solution.
Convention has it that only the original poster adds [SOLVED], when summarising how the original problem was overcome. - i.e. suggested solutions from others do not add it.
