You started an entirely new thread of discussion by replying to an existing message and changing the Subject line. Now, this doesn't do what you thought it does. It continues an existing thread where the Subject line just happens to have changed. Almost everyone here uses intelligent mailers and this new thread is mixed up inside something completely unrelated. The correct thing to do when starting a new thread is to compose an entirely new mail (not reply to an existing one and remove bits) -- Alan McKinnnon alan.mckin...@gmail.com
