And David and Mark already responded. They're right. The reason this comes up now is that most of us are using newer mail clients (or services, like if you use the web for email but get the same effect). > I'm also someone who will change the subject when I want to send > out mail to a group of addresses - and thought that with a new subject > would start a new thread. Used to. Not anymore. In the old days, threading was done entirely by subject because that's all we had. Message IDs have been in use for years and are now ubiquitous enough to use for threading. This kind of threading is more reliable ... except we have to change our behavior w/r/t "change the subject". It's a little painful, but thanks, Chip, for bringing it up.
