I haven't been following this, but I can make a good guess. Some email clients can thread messages - my client (KMail) is one of them. If you hit reply, your message gets placed in the thread that you replied to. It is *NOT* based on the subject, it uses the "In-Reply-To" header. If you enter a new message, it begins a new thread. If it is really a new message, it is out of context to put it into an existing thread. If it is really a reply, it may be lost in a new thread. Because of threaded emails, it is considered bad practice to start new threads by a reply - or use "New" to reply to a thread. I won't claim I've never done it, but it is bad practice. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.4 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQFBZC6mjeziQOokQnARAp5wAJ9QehvPkNRVwKGgUkAjAm7jkQfRowCgrWaH BwWO1G8aButW0ejjh3P2O4w= =EkBR -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- MySQL General Mailing List For list archives: http://lists.mysql.com/mysql To unsubscribe: http://lists.mysql.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED]
