Bug Description
I don't know how this is specifically happening, but I'm seeing merge proposal threads that have *very* different mail headers.
For example the thread from here:
https:/
My first email is:
[Merge] lp:~lifeless/bzr/test-speed into lp:bzr
for which I see a reply from John Arbash Meinel (myself) of:
Re: [Merge] lp:~lifeless/bzr/test-speed into lp:bzr
But then a while later I see a response from Vincent Ladeuil:
Re: Various test_selftest improvements
My guess is that somehow Vincent is getting a copy of the merge proposal which is very different from the copy I'm getting. Potentially Robert submitted the request via email and Vincent got a copy of it but I didn't?
I'm pretty sure that I'm not subscribed directly to the 'bzr' branch, and Vincent might be. So it may be that I'm in "bzr-core" and Vincent is directly subscribed, so we are seeing different emails.
The most annoying part is that it breaks threading. So in my folder with all the code reviews, it is completely unclear what review Vincent is replying to.
Another possibility: Reply via email versus reply versus web interface

I used the web interface to reply.
More precisely I clicked the Reply button on Robert's comment.
I see the same headers than John, highly misleading (and we were both involved...).
