Hi all,
I have a remark about an odd thing I see on this and other lists from
time to time. You see, sometimes people use an existing thread to
start a completely new subject of their own, without even a hint to the
references they're (ab)using. E.g.:
References:
+<20020708211514.GA1113@ferrets4me.xs4all.nl>
<200207082349.35308.andjoh@cicada.linux-site.net>
In-Reply-To: <200207082349.35308.andjoh@cicada.linux-site.net>
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable
Message-Id: <200207091957.41813.keith@keithg4jvx.force9.co.uk>
Subject: [SLE] Compile error.
Which was posted on top of:
References:

Subject: Re: [SLE] SuSE 8.0 Review
For people with MUA's that do not support References (more and more it
seems) it's probably not a problem, as their client sees a different
Subject, and thus a different thread. But for people like me who like
to use a "real" email client it is a PITA, because you think you're
following a thread when all of the sudden the subject (and body)
changes into something completely different.
So people, please, when you want to start a new subject, do it in your
own, fresh post to the list.
Cheers,
Theo
