I am also guilty through ignorance of inadvertently breaking threads. I've not used mailing lists before. I read the page about mail etiquette, but could not find any instructions on how to email from the mailing list (some of us are novices).
I opted for daily digests by email. That says: > Send get_iplayer mailing list submissions to > get_iplayer@lists.infradead.org > > When replying, please edit your Subject line so it is more specific > than "Re: Contents of get_iplayer digest.." But it says nothing about how to reply to an existing thread. The daily digest gives Message-IDs some of which are hyperlinked and some not, but the hyperlinks appear to me to be meaningless e.g. > Click to mail e68c5346-850f-49f5-ab28-ffd0b54b3...@gmail.com > > Click to mail banlktikm6cx6sba6enjxc473baz9a+8...@mail.gmail.com I wrongly assumed I reply to an existing thread by using: > Click to mail get_iplayer@lists.infradead.org I was also confused by the header hyperlink at the top of a message archive as it gives a subject heading of > Re: Re: Broken lists thread when I expected > Broken lists thread Now things are a bit clearer. _______________________________________________ get_iplayer mailing list get_iplayer@lists.infradead.org http://lists.infradead.org/mailman/listinfo/get_iplayer
