  I'd like the option to edit my subject line when replying to a topic.
  
  Considerations:
  
  1. http://www.diigo.com/user/grahamperrin/e-mail+thread+etiquette
  
  2. http://groups.diigo.com/Diigo_HQ/forum/topic/forums-subject-lines-may-be-cropped-when-topic-is-viewed-7331
  
  3. http://n2.nabble.com/Truncation-of-subject-line%2C-without-wrapping%2C-in-classic-view-causes-change-of-subject-to-be-missed-td1100085.html#a1100085
  
  4. http://n2.nabble.com/forum/Search.jtp?forum=1&local=y&user=19440
  
  Points 3 and 4 are off-topic from Diigo. However:
  
  * point 3 highlights that care is required, UI should not be rushed
  
  * point 4 highlights that even in an excellent UI (for public forums, I can think of nothing better than Nabble (sorry, Diigo!)) unexpected issues can arise when integration/interaction are brought into the equation.
  
  In praise of Diigo:
  
  * forums in Diigo permit privacy (Nabble is essentially public)
  
  * I yearn to use Diigo within Plone support forums - where some threads are *extraordinarily* long - there's an indication that a future version of Diigo may work around one of the issues caused by the embedded-only approach to Nabble for the Plone forums.
  
  All things considered:
  
  * edition of subject lines should be nice, but not essential. For me, not a priority :)
  
  Cheers
  Graham
