If you press Reply in your mail reader and then change the subject, for example, from "Great Propagation on 6 Meters" to "For Sale XV50", your message still has a secret "In-reply-to" field in it referring to the original message you replied to.
Some mail mail readers use this "In-reply-to" header to place your message back in its place in the original topic list, as a reply, even though you changed the subject. Readers who might otherwise be interested in your new "For Sale" topic won't see it, because it will show up in the middle of the list of "Great Propagation" messages, were it is likely to get overlooked This "threaded" display feature is present both in mail reading programs such as GMail and Thunderbird, and in web site archives such as Nabble. So, in order to maximize the number of people who will see your messages on *new* subjects, please start out with "Compose" or "New Message" instead of "Reply." This is a personal request from me, and isn't endorsed by Elecraft.
