David, When creating a new topic of dicussion on this (or any other) mailing list, it's a really good idea to create a completely new email instead of just replying to an old one an changing the subject. The reason for this is that when you reply to an email, your mail program inserts headers called 'In-Reply-To' and 'References' which indicate which discussion thread your email belongs to. When someone reads your email in a program that supports a threaded view of the discussion (e.g. thunderbird or mutt) then the program uses those headers to work out where to display your message. As a result, your email about NewsGlobe appeared way down in the discussion on Ave's bbc2mp3 instead of in its own new thread. I realise that most people don't use threaded email readers so they don't notice the problem, but it can get really annoying for those of us who do.
