Hi, I'd like to ask for not using "reply" (in the mail client) when a new thread is being opened. Using the "reply" function and changing the "Subject:" is quite OK (sometimes even recommended), but I've noticed some people do it instead of sending a new mail. Mail threading clients (e.g. Emacs Gnus) keep these messages in the old thread. It makes a quick navigation a bit difficult. -- Alexandr.Malusek@imv.liu.se

May I second to this.

The same happens in mutt. I would appreciate people not starting new thread with "reply". -Kastus

Or at least remove the In-Reply-To: header field manually, if they do it with reply. -- Mads Martin Jørgensen, http://mmj.dk "Why make things difficult, when it is possible to make them cryptic and totally illogic, with just a little bit more effort." -- A. P. J.
