People really need to learn how to use the new e-mail button.... or right click on the destination and click new mail.

Also, threaded mail clients like Thunderchicken can't tell the difference sometimes when someone clicks the reply button on an OT thread. They completely change the subject, but the headers are still there. So a non-OT topic will get buried in the OT thread. I frequently collapse entire threads and hit the delete button. So start a new message is all I'm saying.
