I'm not sure what my mood had to do with it. I wasn't commenting on how one uses "was" to start a new subthread (something I've often done here), but whether a discussion of the relative merits of (still) using the POP3 protocol vs using IMAP was a subthread of someone's fetchmail difficulties (being discussed under a remarkable Subject line of "command not found [SOLVED]"). I didn't see one as a continuation of the other, which was about file permissions, missing libraries and the contents of .fetchmailrc and /etc/default/fetchmail (in the usual sort of guessing game). Terms such as "hijacking", "splitting", and constructions such as Subject: Chalk, was Re: Cheese were not my concern, nor why Gmail should be able to find an irrelevant (IMHO) quotation. Cheers, David.
