Not if you want to quote something from an earlier message, yet begin a new thread. The content of this discussion began in an effort to come to a compromise among tbot subscribers as to how to keep threads from "wandering" and additionally becoming longer than was comfortable for some of tbot's members. The work-arounds were feeling quite clumsy to some of the more long-winded, freewheeling posters, of which I was one. Then Greg Strong posted this solution. And he felt so strongly about it that he sent it to tbudl and tbbeta also. (I know that because I'm subscribed to both those lists, also.) I've been using Greg's solution on tbot--where we don't actually have such stringent rules as on tbudl, and where more visiting and banter go on. It's an easier way for me to continue the conversation and use The Bat!'s wonderful quoting capability--and yet not disturb those who depend strongly on its threading capability to keep up with what's being said and who want threads shorter and subject lines more relevant. -- Best regards, Mary :Mary: The Bat! 2.11.02 on Windows XP 5.1 2600 Service Pack 1 ________________________________________________ Current version is 2.11.02 | 'Using TBUDL' information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html
