you have also distorted an e-mail post thread.

email contains what is called a 'header'. in header, along with all that is
in an email header, is what is know as 'references:'.

'references:' does just that. it contains reference numbers for emails and
in that group of referenced numbers are various referenced email addresses.

when a _good_ email reader is set to display in 'thread', 'references:' is
used to group emails with *normally* same 'subject:' into a 'spool'.

there are many readers of tech support list, such as this, that run their
email reader in thread mode. do not ask why, common sense tells you why,
try it and you will see why.

there are some la's that read post to a list, click reply button, and will
break a thread by changing subject line, and throw in there endearing words
to something totally unrelated to original subject of thread. yes, i did
this my self, tho not because i am an la.

some readers will reply to thread busters, some will not. some who
answer, may know answer. many who do not reply may know answer.

of those who replied, who was able to help. of
those who read and did not reply, who knew answer.

want to increase you chance of a reply? do not break a thread.

want to increase you chance of an answer? do not break a thread.

why? simple.
 it is polite not to break a thread.
 not all threads are followed, so some spools stay close.
 new subject/thread is most always seen.

i am not being biased, just trying to help some la newbies
understand what kind of harm may be within their bad habits.

did i break thread? how could i? it is already broken.

who will see this? i do not know.
who will it help? time will show intelligence.
who will reply with flame? those of little ".

btw. i do hope you get your problems fixed. samba and winbind
work fine, sometimes, they just need some special tweaking.


peace out, rocky.
