[time-nuts] How to start a new topic
Fellow time-nuts, I am new in this mailing list and a little bit unfamiliar with it, so I hope I'm not doing something stupid. How do I start a new topic? Simply send a mail with a new subject?

Yes, you send a mail with a new subject. Please don't CHANGE the subject of a thread or topic, as that doesn't actually start a new topic. I also suggest that you send email to the reflector as Plain Text.

Please don't CHANGE the subject of a thread or topic, as that doesn't actually start a new topic. The trick is to start a new mail (press Write or Compose) instead of replying to a mail. If you press reply the ID of the mail you replied to gets stored in the mail you write and send. Thus all mail clients that support threads see your mail as a continuation of the mail you replied to. See also http://www.febo.com/pipermail/time-nuts/2012-November/thread.html where you can see that Volker pressed reply instead of starting a new mail. Thus the thread How to start a new topic became sorted into the old thread Sulzer 5A 5P PSU/battery question, thus did not start a new topic :-) (Sorry Volker, for using you as an example.

*UNLESS *the subject changes. I get so sick of the title having nothing to do with the message. Sometimes a thread will completely change and have 20 or more answers. Personally I would prefer a new thread if the subject changes. IMHO, Michael / K7HIL On Fri, Nov 2, 2012 at 7:20 AM, David C.

There are two mechanisms for splitting a pile of messages into threads. Some mail readers sort by the Subject field. Some use the In-Reply-To headers. Sorting by Subject is generally good enough. Using the In-Reply-To headers gets much better results when various branches of the thread overlap in time. It also does the right thing if messages arrive out of order. That is common if some replies go direct to people in addition to the list. -- These are my opinions.
