okay, so I don't have a shortcut key for freeBSD-hacker.. I went into
my freeBSD saved box, grabbed the first email, replied to all,

in the deally bobber? Is that what you are talking about then? So
in the future, I should know that editing the subject line will not
suffice to make a new thread?
If so, sorry. I get it now.
Your mail client sets the In-Reply-To header to the message ID of the
email you pulled out of your saved folder.
Mail clients use this header to track what thread a message is in (even
if someone changed the subject).
Thanks. This makes things clear. I'm sorry that I felt "scolded"
by the confusing barrage (I guess at least a couple of you thought
this should have been obvious to me).
