Hi :) +1 to everyone so far :)) Thanks Anne-ology! :) I get the impression that some email-clients, maybe Thunderbird, ignores the words in the subject line and uses something from the coding in the headers (which are usually hidden).
I know that Forwarding an email "breaks it out" into a new thread but i've not tried breaking it out in this way but then using the same subject-line. I imagine that differnt email-clients would handle that very differently from each other. Anyway the point i was making was that Rob Jasper's point about Conversations / Threading was "spot on" and i'd totally missed it in my previous post.
