To be honest I never had a look at if I was the orignal hjacker or not |
| 25 |

(Just to take this further; you good argue that the mail clients is |
| 30 |
using a wrong method of detecting these threads, cause it depends on the |
| 31 |
users' habits. I guess most of us choose the reply-button, cause it' |

| 33 |
like they are, and I'll use the compose button from now on, so everyone |
| 34 |
is happy :), hope others is following my lead...) |
