Is this for real? I never knew this either. I almost always send emails to the list by replying to old ones and changing the subject for new threads. I will remember this in the future if I create a thread.
I don't imagine Nikos and I are the only two who did not know this. Though I'm sure the habit of replying instead of creating a new email is not the norm either. <>< Ryan -----Original Message----- From: Jason Wong [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Monday, November 25, 2002 11:35 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [PHP-DB] PDFlib On Monday 25 November 2002 23:19, nikos wrote: > Hello everybody > Does evrybody know if there is a free version of PDFlib > Thanx > Nikos You have started a new thread by taking an existing posting and replying to it while you changed the subject. That is bad, because it breaks threading. Whenever you reply to a message, your mail client generates a "References:" header that tells all recipients which posting(s) your posting refers to. A mail client uses this information to build a threaded view ("tree view") of the postings. With your posting style you successfully torpedoed this useful feature; your posting shows up within an existing thread it has nothing to do with. Always do a fresh post when you want to start a new thread. To achieve this, click on "New message" instead of "Reply" within your mail client, and enter the list address as the recipient. You can save the list address in your address book for convenience. -- PHP Database Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php -- PHP Database Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
