When starting a new thread don't just reply to a message sent by |
| 13 |
someone else and clear the subject line. Not all e-mail and news |
| 14 |
clients behave like yours and will thread messages correctly based |
| 15 |
on the "Message-ID:", "In-Reply-To:" and "References:" headers |
| 16 |
embedded in the messages. Only programs which don't comply with |
| 17 |
Internet standards sort messages by subject and call that |
| 18 |
"threading". |
| 19 |
When you simply change the subject of a message, all of the threading |
| 20 |
information remains intact and your new "thread" simply continues |
| 21 |
at the end of the old one. This is called thread hijacking. |
| 22 |
|
| 23 |
By doing this, you're shooting yourself in the foot twice over. |
| 24 |
First of all, people following a thread don't want to see unrelated |
| 25 |
messages cropping up in the middle of it. The most complacent will |
| 26 |
just delete your message without reading it, others will killfile |
| 27 |
you, some having complained to you asking you to learn how to post. |
| 28 |
Secondly, those who aren't interested in the hijacked thread and |
| 29 |
who have set their programs to ignore it won't even see your message. |
| 30 |
|
| 31 |
If you want to start a new thread then use your mailer's/newsreader's |
| 32 |
"New Message" function. This will start a fresh thread of your own |
| 33 |
without any traces of previous threads. |
| 34 |

| 35 |
And: |

Do not post in HTML. There are several reasons why posting in HTML |
| 38 |
is a bad idea. These links should help convince you why: |
