[08-11-04 09:08]: One of the things I like about KMail is filter-driven header deletion. I have a filter (configured for manual activation only, of course, and assigned to the main KMail window's Message menu) that removes the "In-Reply-To" and "References" headers. This severs the thread links in the inappropriate reply, moving it to the top of the thread hierarchy. Replies to that message follow it just as you want.
Fine for your *personal* use and for posts following yours, but does not help someone trying to solve their own problems utilizing the list archives :-( ...
Nope. Clumsy users hamper utility of public resources for all. I've always been fond of keeping my own archives of lists to which I subscribe, since on-line searching tends to be pretty limited. Even Google is not ideally suited to mailing lists--it's never (or rarely) totally up-to-date, and given the narrowness of the topics on mailing lists, it can be hard to pin-point what you're looking for without something like regular expressions and successively refined searches.
