This might be getting out of hand and a futile exercise in the end. But one last time, let me add a modification... This mail, with re-edited subject is being sent from Kmail using smtp.gmail.com pop server. I am hoping that the In-Reply-To header will remain with the mail and a "decent" MUA (like KMail, mutt, Evolution, ...) will be able to thread it properly (ie, not a new thread). But those of you who are reading it using gmail will see this as a "new thread/conversation". No more mails on this issue from my side. I will have broken my own agenda twice now!! -- Regards PK -------------------------------------- http://counter.li.org #402424 -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
