For those of you just tuning in to our show tonight, threaded mail readers follow the "In-Reply-To:" headers in the email messages, or for lame mailers that don't send them, they'll usually follow subject lines too. So when you "Reply" instead of starting a new message, you effectively hijack the middle of the thread and make it all about a different topic. Which means with some readers, you get two (or more) separate threads about the original thread/topic, and with other readers, you get one big thread with 2 or more different topics interspersed throughout it. And while we're at it, we should really change the Reply-To settings on the mail list so it doesn't force it back onto the list... ;) Mac -- Mac Newbold MNE - Mac Newbold Enterprises, LLC [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.macnewbold.com/ ____________________ BYU Unix Users Group http://uug.byu.edu/ ___________________________________________________________________ List Info: http://uug.byu.edu/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/uug-list
