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?
It has the header information for that thread that many mail readers
(including thunderbird) use to "thread" the discussion together.
