This is true, and it can be very annoying. I think we need to periodically
(more frequently than we do now) remind people not to 'reply' when creating
a new subject.
Please, folks, add an entry in your address book for the list. Then 'create'
a new message when starting a new thread. Then Thunderbird thread viewing
will work as it should.
If someone doesn't understand this, please ask until someone explains it in
a way that you do.
Thank you very much!
