And that's precisely why we let them use mouse-1 to follow links. I am not proposing to take that away from anyoneI am sure you not. I just thought this was a good time to ask for consistency regarding underline.who expects or wants it.I object to that, and not just in this case. Nothing prevents you from starting a new thread or filing a new bug, and even using "[was: Info header line does not...]".
It is a good idea.
It hasn't happened yet in this case, but injecting a new topic can cause threads to diverge and the original topic to become lost. It happens quite often in emacs-devel. Everyone has done it, including me. Very few people ever intentionally hijack a thread, but it happens quite often unintentionally. The risk is always there, but it is strongest when the new topic is more controversial than the original - people jump in to argue about the sidetrack.
You have good points, but I think it unfortunately always is a difficult choice. Perhaps your own reply also illustrates that.
