To be fair, the opposite is a bit true: until recently (say, the last five years?), most mail clients *did not* listen to Thread-Ids and thus, changing the subject line *did* make it seem like things were brand new. Only recently (comparatively) have mail clients started making threadable interfaces. One can thus infer that mail clients /taught/ users to break things and only now are they going “whoops”. -- Morbus Iff ( i desire penance for your sins ) http://www.disobey.com/ and http://www.disobey.com/wiki/ twitter: @morbusiff / skype: morbusiff / irc.freenode.net, Morbus An O'Reilly author and blogger: http://www.oreillynet.com/pub/au/779 -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the "BBEdit Talk" discussion group on Google Groups.
