mail list server? Your mail client?) know what the thread is? The
subject above is "Re: OOoW: Intermittent problems with save/save as.",
where is "[user]", or other thread info coming from? "OOoW: Intermittent

fields have been removed, where does "correlation" to the old thread
come from? [Actually, I fixed the spelling to "intermittent", just now,
to see if this changes anything.]
