Hi Henri & Michael, Admonishment accepted and noted. Apparent subject change is not applicable as I deliberately chose that sequence of emailed responses as an example. When I download emails from this forum I receive every email that is generated relative to each original cry for help including my own. Hence, I have seen complaints accompanied by requests for "unsubscription" resulting from the bombardment of emails. It is also my complaint but I do not see "unsubscribing" as a cure except on a personal basis. It may be a reason why some users do not register and receive a "direct" response. As I see it the solution is: 1. Set up a proper web-site based users forum still requiring registration and requiring moderation 2. configure the current system to download the latest ONLY of each email subject inclusive of responses received.
For example, in my latest download of emails (headers only) there were several emails for each subject so before downloading the content I deleted what I hope is the excess being earlier timed (received) emails with the same subject headers. In doing so there is a danger that I have lost some interesting information.

And while I know this is to open a particularly Laocoonian can of worms, I take the liberty of pointing out that bottom posting is the most commonly used method employed for responses on this particular list....
