Recently, gitlab started to send mail with different subject titles:

```
Re: VTK | VTK | Add vtkGLTFMapper (!5735)
Re: VTK | Add vtkGLTFMapper (!5735)

```

Not really practical to manage the mails.

Any idea what is going on ?

I’ve noticed this as well. Seems they’ve finally decided to add group hierarchy information to the subject (something I asked for years ago). However, it seems that “pushed code” MR updates don’t use the same subject template. Looks like i may have already been fixed: [https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-ce/issues/63863](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-ce/issues/63863)

(Note that the `In-Reply-To` information is set properly, so improper threading is 100% gmails fault in this case.)
