Re: Mailing list change?
Tim - I noticed the same thing and had been chalking it up to gmail. For a while, I would see re: on replies in the message list. When I opened the message gmail would display the full thread with the original subject line at the top of the list. Now I don't even see the re: in the message list. Don't know where it's coming from, I had just figured it was gmail. gs George Sinos gsi...@gmail.com www.georgesphotos.net plus.georgesinos.com On Mon, Aug 20, 2012 at 9:52 PM, Anthony Farr farranth...@gmail.com wrote: I suspect that the proliferation of mailing apps on a proliferation of operating systems across a proliferation of platforms is the reason for whatever non-standard behaviour you may notice on any particular day.

Re: Mailing list change?
I think I may be the only current *actively posting* digest subscriber. I've never seen anyone else get bitched out for screwing up the threading. I try to pay attention to the subject line when I post a reply manually put the RE: in if it's not already there.

I've never seen anyone else get bitched out for screwing up the threading. i detected those who reply to digests by searching for In-reply-to: headers that include mailman; this works because the digests are sent with a mailman message-id (of course you need a tool that can do this search — good luck doing that with Gmail) searching from March through the present there is one primary culprit, plus a few occasionals; none of them are you, John — you are doing the right thing, insofar as you are a digest user, by composing new messages; you regularly get the subject lines right too, so i can induce Thunderbird to include your messages in the thread, though they cannot be placed in the correct hierarchical position -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
