Could the automated emails put the commit message
(truncated if

Except if it's an extension. I find the path *extremely* useful for
filtering out masses of commits to extensions I don't know or care
about.
Changing subject lines when you reply doesn't help
when you
use a client that collapses threads to a single line with just the
first subject line (such as gmail) - you can't see that the subject
line has changed. Either that, or you break the thread, which is
equally annoying.
Yeah, for me on Gmail (subscribed to the commit list as well as
wikitech) the current way is actually pretty good. It has the
drawback that I don't necessarily notice replies to a commit when
paging through my mail, but on the other hand the commit is right
there for me to look over.
