HI,
One reason to use the "solved" tag is to let everyone know that the OP
has solved the problem and moved on so that others don't continue to
waste their time and effort trying to find a solution when the OP has
moved on and won't need to respond any more.
Best regards,
Fred

I rarely use Gmail web UI, but this time I was curious enough to check its
behavior.
As I keep pointing out, and you have covered again here, any change of
subject is disastrous for the gmail web UI and the web UI of most of the
other large mailbox providers, which together count for the vast
majority of active email users even on extremely technical and ageing
population lists like this one.
However some still seem to desire the idea of a "SOLVED" tag on the
basis that it provides some benefit for the web archives as provided by
Debian and most others.
On the whole I don't much care either way. It feels a bit like
squabbling over the colour of the deck chairs on the RMS Titanic. I
personally am never going to change a subject line unless the topic of
the mail itself changes (and I remember). I just wish people arguing for
one thing or the other would admit the trade-offs.
Thanks,
Andy
