I used OE - how would I do the below? LUG's mail comes to my OE program via
GMAIL.
Thanks,
Bob

Mary,
For your information if you had OE set up to receive LUG's mail in the News
function, rather than the Mail, you would see the problem for yourself!

Dave,
THANK you for this very informative post. I've been doing (hi-jacking)
forever and never knew it was a bad thing to do. I use Outlook Express so
was totally unaware of the effect of my action.
Will cease and desist immediately, unless I intend to reply to the thread
(like now). :-)

Why is the below "bad"? Actually, I try to remember to: hit reply
change subject delete unrelated info in body of the msg
If you want to start a new topic you should *not* just hit Reply and
change the subject line but should start a new thread with a new
e-mail.
It's "bad" because your message is still linked to the original
thread by its header information. Thread-linking mail readers will
show your (new subject) message as a continuation of the thread that
you replied to. This is called hi-jacking a thread.
To start a new thread/subject you must create a new message addressed
to the list and not "reply" to any list messages.
Your message's headers show that you are using M$ Outlook Express
6.0. If you were using a good mail reader that the had extended
features the problem would be apparent.
Cheers, -- Dave N.
