PS: please make all versions replying to the cover letter of v1.

For sending new version, followed suggestion from Ferruh by replying to previous version, not the first version.

Replying to previous version creates an unneeded indentation.
And, as you are replying to first patch (not cover letter),
it makes new version in the middle of the previous one.

Ahh, as Jasvinder said, I was always suggesting replying to first mail of the
previous version. As long as agreed on one, I don't really mind one against other.

What is the rule now, a new version replied to first mail of *first* version?

I would not use the term "first mail" as that is ambiguous and could imply
the first patch. I always try and reply to the cover letter of the v1. That
keeps things in thread without a new level of indentation each subsequent
version.

I said "first mail" to escape from mentioned ambiguity :)

If first mail is "cover letter" reply to that, if there is no cover letter,
first mail is the 1/x patch, in this case reply to that patch.
I think we are saying same thing at the end of the day.
