When you hit reply the message will contains headers that |
| 9 |
indicate what message it's a reply to. Real mail/news programs |
| 10 |
use that header information to sort messages into threads. |

|
| 12 |
So the message that you intended to be a new thread actually |
| 13 |
shows up buried down deep inside an existing thread even though |
| 14 |
it has absolutely nothing to do with that thread. |
| 15 |
|
| 16 |
The net result is that all the people who had decided to stop |
| 17 |
reading that thread will never see your message. |
