Nothing to add re: your note, but... |

Next time please avoid hijacking a thread. You apparently hit reply to |
| 14 |
an existing message, then replaced the subject line with your own, |
| 15 |
starting a new topic. The problem is, the reference headers still point |
| 16 |
to the message you replied to as your message parent, so it appears in |
| 17 |
the same thread in clients designed to thread based on those headers (the |
| 18 |
purpose for them, after all), so your message ends up hijacking the |
| 19 |
original thread, starting an entirely different subject under it. |
| 20 |
|
| 21 |
The better alternative is to always start a /new/ post (not a reply to an |
| 22 |
existing post) when you intend to start a new thread. That way, it /is/ |
| 23 |
a new thread, having no reference headers to existing messages. |

Thanks in advance. =8^) |
