An old fart would know that Subject:-line-based threading would have attracted criticism both then and now :-)
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. If I need to read by subject line regardless of thread I can set up a query to sort like 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
