Yes it is OpenVMS.
But it is not the reason. That is a (automatic) modification I added in the
mail-client to change the subject line, as I explained in an earlier reply.

And, once again, that is not the reason. Threading is not done on the
Subject line. If you check the list archives, you will see threads
where the subject line has been changed but the thread integrity is not
damaged. You also occasionally see people changing the subject line to
a different topic in the mistaken belief that this will create a new
thread. This is known as "thread hijacking" and is frowned upon.
