Please when posting to the list with a new subject, always create a new email. Please DO NOT reply to an existing message and replace the subject. Unless its part of an existing thread, that the topic has changed. Usually referencing the old topic still in the subject line after the new topic.
Many email clients display email threads in a tree. When you reply using an existing email thread it shows under the tree of another. It looks really odd and can make it hard to notice the message being buried. This does not really effect non-threading email clients. By default anytime you post to the list a thread ID is added to that email. Subsequent replies reused that ID. Thus even when you change the subject and all message contents, the previous header ID remains. Which is why its best to always start a new message from scratch. If need be click on the post to address of a previous email. In most email clients that will start a new empty email addressed to the address you clicked on. Its better and faster than clearing out and replacing a subject :) Sorry to nit pick but happened a few times over past few weeks. Best to mention sooner than later, before it really gets outta control. Thanks! -- William L.
