It would be nice if you could (1) keep the same subject and (2) reply to previous mails (even if you sent them) when you are commenting on a single subject. That helps keep everything together in other list members' mailers, in the archives, and in the various third party web interfaces like Nabble.

To answer the question, user preferences and file history are managed by a separate program called GConf, and it keeps its data in ~/.gconf
