There are two variants.

In one, when what is being talked about changes from the original intent, the writer may change the subject, like:

Subject: bla bla bla [Was: so and so]

which we say is branching the thread, and is accepted. We may say that it is the proper thing to do when the thread diverges, so that readers know it. Some try to create a new thread, but often this is not noticed and the discussion goes on two distinct threads.

Another one happens when someone tries to create a new post, but does so by hitting reply on an old one, changing the subject line and content. This is called thread hijack, it is frowned upon, and typically happens with newcomers, till they are told :-)

It doesn't break anything, as far as I know. Mail threading is not based on subject. If you are using some client that does break, like gmail webmail client, then complain to them, because their mail client is broken. -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R. (from 13.1 x86_64 "Bottle" at Telcontar)

Yes, it is. But this is not the point. I'm an old fart and when I was on mailing lists this behaviour would have attracted criticism.

Interesting. On what do you base those statistics? What source tells that 95% of the human race even has an internet connection? Or are you simply claiming that Google has over 7 Billion distinct accounts and counting people like me whoo have more than one account many times over?

Indeed. If this list were to work with Subject:-line based threading all I would need to do would be to change the subject line to something from a message of long, long ago and PRESTO! its resurrected. What utter balderdash! And heck, some subject lines such as "members poll" get re-used over the years for quite different matters.

Ah, that's a different one. Some months ago we had some big flame wars, around systemd. The list admin had to implement filters, that causes *some* mails to be delayed for moderation, which can take several days. So what we do is that when we get a hit on those filters, and we do not want to wait that long, we repost changing the offending word. Can't be helped.

So you're confirming me you change the title to dodge filters? How is this a good thing?

Its a good thing because the thread can proceed. Having to wait, possibly days, for the moderator, who has a real life outside the list, to release the items in the queue, items that are not outrageous, vitriolic or contain personal insults, means that the discussion is like talking to the New Horizon's spacecraft out at Pluto. I'm sure our ancestors had a similar situation, sending physical mail by ship or courier to distant places and getting replies days, weeks or even years later. But that was then, this is now. Our expectations have changed. This may not be an IM service but we expect to see our posts in a few minutes and replies shortly after. I don't know whether you in particular consider this to be a good thing. Many people here get to wonder what has gone wrong if they don't see their posts within a reasonable time, certainly less than an hour. You do seem happy with the promptness of replies to your own postings, all of which came within 10 minutes. If you want us to wait a day, a week before replying to you, just ask: many of us have MUAs that can cope with that. -- A: Yes. > Q: Are you sure? >> A: Because it reverses the logical flow of conversation. >>> Q: Why is top posting frowned upon? -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org

He didn't have to. He just did. Many here live in fear of wearing out their delete keys, so demand a nanny (aka moderator) relieve them of that risk.

It's a choice of lesser evil. Moderation breaks conversing. A question is asked or answered, but when it gets trapped in moderation queue, sometimes for days, thread participants get left hanging whether aware of magic words or not. Something akin to bitrot typically sets in. The original poster may well have found a solution and not mentioned it, or given up on getting any response, by the time the moderator clears it from the queue. -- "The wise are known for their understanding, and pleasant words are persuasive."

It is not a law. The list owner (that's the proper name here) was asked to control a situation that was very bad, stop a bad flame war, out of control. To moderate. He doesn't have the time nor resources to moderate all email, nor the intention to do so (it would be akin to censorship). So he just signals for moderation certain posts on certain criteria. Unfortunately he still can not read those few posts immediately. The filter and the moderation is not a "law", nor the goal. The goal is to avoid insults. If we edit a subject line to thwart a filter, but we don't badly insult each other, my guess is that he will be happy and perhaps not even comment on it. After all, I have known him for years :-) So we are within the spirit of the "law" :-) -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R. (from 13.1 x86_64 "Bottle" at Telcontar)

Depending a great deal on the software displaying said email.

If you look at the date on my posting and the date 'now' you see that it was delayed '3' days because I'm on a watch list for titles involving certain software that I have yet to adopt.

Maybe you haven't adopted certain software, but that fact has nothing to do with your supposed inclusion on a "watch list".

The fact that I have yet to adopt the software, but continue to modify packages around the "problem" makes me suspect or something, I suppose...but I'm rarely one to jump to the bleeding edge if I can help it. Maybe all the problems will be ironed out by the time I decide programming around the problem isn't worth the effort --- or maybe I'll move to Win10! (*cough*)

Mmm... how did you do that thread graphic? Curious thing, that.

It's built-in to the threadvis extension. The thread graphic is what the .SVG output that I sent "should" have looked like. It writes it out to a file in .svg format if you wish. In this case, I just told it to open it in a separate window so I could expand it so you could see the relative times. When it is on the "normal display", it displays in what is usually a blank area to the right of where it has the From, Date, To info... But the graph on large discussions gets so big, it drops out the times, thus my reason for opening it separately. amo: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/thunderbird/addon/threadvis/ other home page: http://threadvis.github.io/ Updated up to tbird 24.0 according to the 2nd page. I still use an old version (1.1.595) as it used it's own db for doing the threading (it tracks threads across folders!). After that version -- it was available for Tbird3, which, by default downloads all your folders to your local 'roaming' profile on windows. I.e. if you have a large email store, the default in TB3 and beyond is to duplicate it locally. Even though I tried to upgrade to a later email reader but 'reverted due to it's lower stability, I hadn't tackled the challenge of getting the older version to work on the newer TB's, as the newer versions make it an explicit requirement that you need to download all your email locally (the TB3+ default). If you don't turn that on, the tool won't work. I figure when I upg to something TB3+-compat, I'll rewrite the version checks in the last version to use it's own DB, since the whole reason for me to keep things in imap was to to have all the clients use the 1 location. My mom is having problems -- likely lost her address book due to it being all in 1 big ".PST" file that got overwritten when outlook had to be reinstalled. Lovely.

Backups ;-) :-p

OT: Win 7 and newer has shadow copies. Like btrfs snapshots.

From the command line 'vssadmin list shadows' will tell you if they exist. They are very common.

vss from http://www.dmares.com/maresware/tz.htm#VSS will let you map one to a drive letter. Just use file explorer to grab a copy of a pre-overwritten pst.
