I'm sorry for snapping. It's just really frustrating when you're reading a
thread on a certain subject, and then the thread change something else. This
can happen either because someone replies and changes the subject, or because
someone replies but keeps the same subject, and starts talking about something
else entirely. Both things are annoying. It's better to just start a new email
entirely, rather than replying to an email if you know that the thing that you
want to talk about is different than what's being discussed already.
Thanks,

I don't think this has anything to do with POP or Outlook. You can read
threaded messages in POP just like you can in IMAP. Also, clients have been
supporting conversations or threads for quite a while, such as Thunderbird,
Lotus Notes or Outlook. It is true that if you don't use a threaded client, you
don't realize how your message could go unnoticed when you hijack a thread but
that's why you shouldn't assume everyone else reads email the same way you do
and you should listen to the moderators and others on the list when they point
out things like hijacking threads and not changing subject lines.

My own confusion with understanding thread hijacking came from using
Outlook on my computer for years for email. When you review emails
individually in POP format using Outlook, it is not clear when you reply
to a message and change the subject that you've run afoul of list
etiquette. The new message you created will be treated as such on your
computer with Outlook when it's downloaded via POP. However, as many
more of us are now checking our email using our iDevices in an IMAP
environment, the hidden metadata in the message continues to link it to
its source thread and when the subject is changed, the thread is
hijacked causing the resulting irritation for those checking mail with
their iDevices' mail app.

I think sometimes people don't understand that if you reply to
somebody's message, what you write is part of that thread. I know that
years ago when I started emailing I didn't understand this at all. If
you want to start a new topic and not hijack somebody's thread, it isn't
enough to just change the subject line. You need to start a new email
with your new subject rather than doing it as a reply to some other
message to that list. I remember early on in my Internet experience
having somebody really bawl me out for this and it was pure ignorance on
my part. You can argue whether I should have known better, should have
understood about threads on email lists, but I truly didn't. I did
finally figure it out one day on my own, but I don't remember ever
having it explained to me because it was assumed it should be obvious.
I hope this helps anybody who doesn't understand about threads. The
other thing that often happens is that the focus of a thread does indeed
change but people don't bother to change the subject line.

I tried and tried to turn over a new leaf.
I got crumpled wads of tear-stained paper
thrown in the trash!
Then God gave me a new heart and life:
His joy for my despairing tears!
And now, every day:
"This I call to mind,
and therefore I have hope:
The steadfast love of the Lord
never ceases;
his mercies never come to an end;
they are new every morning;
great is your faithfulness."
(Lamentations 3:21-23 ESV)
