In IDR, we started an adoption call recently that was impacted by the tooling changes.  The boilerplate notification from the tool went out.  I generated a specific adoption call thread.

There are responses in effectively "both" threads now.

Beyond skipping the mail from the datatracker as confusing, another solution would be to permit the chair to modify the text of the datatracker-generated message.  However, that then possibly runs the risk of being ignored by WG membership's email filters.
