I didn't think about using my gmail account. Yeah thunderbird's
threading is starting to drive me crazy. Like on this thread here, it
has listed underneath the thread about Cannon communicate using
internal ip :?

as well. The threading is by far the best feature (that i most
commonly use) of google-mail, imo.

What is the best client to use. I have tried using Thunderbird, but
the threading feature of it isn't too hot, is there something better to
use for managing mailing list. 

The more I find myself getting into development to more I see them
being used, and it is actually becoming difficult to keep up in
Thunderbird. It doesn't match up the threads properly and just handles
them funky imho, but that might b/c I'm not use to it.

So what do you use?

The threading issue comes about when people (not to nit-pick) just
select a message and hit reply, then delete the subject and body to
make a new post. The thread data is still preserved. You're really
supposed to send a completely new message to qmailtoaster-list @
qmailtoaster.com when asking a new question to start new thread data.

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!
