It is fine for me because it has the message ID but others probably prefer an http link. You can turn the message ID into a link by the following: http://mid.gmane.org/20150914040426.ga13...@optiplex-9020.ad.ufl.edu I should emphasize that the above thoughts are just my personal preference. Many people do not care about keeping things so organized and cross-referenced. I think they have better memories than I do. Scott
