Look up the word "reply".  If you are not replying, then do not use reply in 
your email.  Start a new email and enter the address instead of being lazy.  
A reply is an answer, not a new subject.  If you reply and start a new 
subject you look like a dork to anyone who views email in a threaded view.  
It doesn't matter what you are used to.
