This might happen if, for example someone hit the reply button on this message, deleted all the quoted text, typed in their own problem and hit send. Two things would happen... 1. Email clients keep track of what messages were replied to in the headers of the email. This allows a mail reader to organise the emails by subject and show where in the "thread" that email occurred. People who use that feature will see a completely different email appearing inside someone else's thread and it becomes annoying. 2. If the subject isn't changed then it's also an additional level of annoyance because the subject says one thing and the email is about something completely different. As a rule of thumb when you are starting a new discussion compose a new email, don't use the reply button unless you are genuinely replying to an existing email.
