[12-25-03 11:18]: [snip ...] I use kmail Carlos and if something is set up wrong I am not aware of it. The oringanl message I typed as new to the list ........ Hmmmm I wonder...If I had replied to all in a message and erase everything but the email address to the list and retyped everything as new would that come across as a hijacked message ? if so then that is what I think I did to get the list address and I appologize. I now have the list address in my email addresss book and that won't happen again. This message I replied to all and erased your address and just used the list. Thanks Carlos.
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^(
I did turn on full headers but I didn't see a 'References:' line. Can you show me what it looks like in your header file? Thanks, Jerome
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?
