Either is OK. I tend to prefer continuation-of-this, mainly because it
prevents people from forgetting to cc people who were involved in
earlier discussion.

(Of course, if the discussion graph was complex, no reply-to-all will
capture all participants. Nobody bothers to go through the discussion
gathering the names of all participants so I often end up doing this
when putting the final patch together)
