First of all, is this message the beginning of a properly started "New Thread?" 
 It was generated in Thunderbird by clicking Write and addressing it to 
[email protected]

I ask this question because, while I have apparently never hi-jacked a thread, and I know 
this has been discussed before on this list, I still don't "get-it."

How does the message obtained by using Reply and starting a fresh Subject 
differ from one obtained by using
Reply and changing the Subject?  The Reply-To header in most if not all 
messages on the list contains [email protected], the same address I used for 
the present message.

I, and I suspect many joining this list, don't understand how changing the subject is not "Starting a New Thread." On one list I have been on for years, this is a recommended way of avoiding being guilty of the offense.

Does a Reply message have hidden baggage that distinguishes it?
