Mike, I typically "reply" to a message and then strip out the "Re: [LegacyUG]" part of the subject, too. Does that not start a new thread from your email service's viewpoint? (This email is an example.) Thanks, --Paula

Use 'Write' when you want to start a new thread. Use 'Reply' when,... , well, replying to a message. You are consistently using the 'Reply' operation and simply used a refurbished, old message. b) True threading (think conversations) is _not_ achieved simply from changing the subject. c) Always trim the excess when replying to a message. -- Regards, Mike Fry Johannesburg Legacy User Group guidelines: http://www.LegacyFamilyTree.com/Etiquette.asp Archived messages after Nov. 21 2009: http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/ Archived messages from old mail server - before Nov. 21 2009: http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/ Online technical support: http://www.LegacyFamilyTree.com/Help.asp Follow Legacy on Facebook (http://www.facebook.com/LegacyFamilyTree) and on our blog (http://news.LegacyFamilyTree.com).
