Not all e-mail and news ~ clients behave like yours and will thread messages correctly based on ~ the "Message-ID:", "In-Reply-To:" and "References:" headers embedded in ~ the messages. Only programs which don't comply with Internet standards ~ sort messages by subject and call that "threading". When you simply ~ change the subject of a message, all of the threading information ~ remains intact and your new "thread" simply continues at the end of the ~ old one. This is called thread hijacking. ~ By doing this, you're shooting yourself in the foot twice over. First ~ of all, people following a thread don't want to see unrelated messages ~ cropping up in the middle of it. The most complacent will just delete ~ your message without reading it, others will killfile you, some having ~ complained to you asking you to learn how to post. Secondly, those who ~ aren't interested in the hijacked thread and who have set their ~ programs to ignore it won't even see your message. ~ If you want to start a new thread then use your mailer's/newsreader's ~ "New Message" function. This will start a fresh thread of your own ~ without any traces of previous threads.
