Yes, that's what I figured, but didn't want to assume. You can still do this and cut or delete the "Re:" part out of the header, though that would still screw up the threading in some email clients. Either way, though, it works for me, but it would be best if you just posted in a new email message, for everyone's sake. Also, the address book on your email client can help so that you don't have to type it each time - I can help off-list with that if you need it. > All these years and I didn't know the posts without the "re's" were > originals and the ones with the "re's" were responses!

Nah, it's just a bit of fluff, but it can help, especially as I enjoy the articles you post, and I don't want to miss them (same goes generally for SmartNews). "Re:" is a standard term which used to be used mainly in correspondence on paper - office memos come to mind. It is short for "regarding," and it's obviously most commonly used now in email. But, in that regard, it makes sorting by header (and discarding the irrelevant responses to a post) much easier. Anyway, thanks so much. A little netiquette goes a long way for others, and it's always refreshing to know that someone isn't offended by a suggestion to that.
