In over 20 years of using email, it's the first interface I've had to use that does this. > > If you don't want your message to be treated as a reply, you have > two choices: > > o Don't use the "reply" command. > > o find some way to edit headers to remove the "In-Reply-To:" and > "References:" line(s). > > Any email program that can do threading probably allows you to define > your own email aliases; just define "PDML" to go to the list address, > and you don't need to use a "reply" command at all. It's not an email programme, per se. It's a web GUI designed for people who are (shall we say) less than technically proficient. The command capabilities seem to be extremely limited. As i said, I can't even order the messages. Of your three options, only the first seems to be possible. As the interface has speeded up quite dramatically, that may be the option I will choose, onovce I become more familiar with it. -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
