[12-25-03 11:18]: [snip ...] Chris, if you will turn full headers on in kmail, you will see a line 'References:' that has the history of the thread. You are still responding to the original thread (not yours), as am I 8^(
You must delete that line to start a new thread when responding to an existing message. Or, start a completely new message, not reply, by typing in new addresses, not erasing or changing existing addresses.
I hate to be rude, but what difference does it make on hijacking a thread as long as it gets to the list? I am somewhat a newbie also and I see this topic come up all the time and I don't understand what all the fuss is about it?

The reason for the 'fuss' is that it messes up the search function of the mail archives. Hijacking a thread places the wrong subject matter into an existing thread.
