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: <NFBBIDGCHAHHLOMLEHBOIECGDLAA.davidm@comrad.co.nz> +<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.

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
I appear to have done something very wrong when sending my posing to which Theo refers. But I don't know what! It appears to be perfectly OK here. My apologies to Theo and the rest of the list. I will have to be extremely careful if I post again. Cheers Keith.
