Hello Jewel, This is Mark, the moderator of this group.
Alan is absolutely correct. Thread hijacking is extremely inconvenient to those of us using threaded conversation views in our email clients. I believe it depends on the mailing list domain server-side settings but, in the case of Google groups, removing the contents of the original message and changing the subject line will not remove the original message header information. Consequently, as Alan suggested, be certain to create a new message to the list, from scratch. Quote, "If you can't remember the posting address of the list, please copy it from a message to which you are replying, cancel that message, start a brand new message, and paste the address you copied into the To field. Now you can type in your new subject since you'll be starting a new thread." End Quote. Thank you, Mark -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Jewel Sent: Saturday, July 02, 2016 9:52 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: Thread hijacking I apologise. I thought that I had removed all traces of the KNFB post. As I often do this, to save myself the bother of typing the address for a new message, I do the reply to on an existing message to the list, and then remove all traces of it. Apparently, on this occasion, I must have neglected to do this. NOOne, in the past, has advised me that they have a problem with it.

Those of us who read email by threads as I do on my iPhone get messed up if we're following the thread you hijacked either because we're interested or we posted to it as I did. Even if you completely erase the thread history and totally replace the subject, the message is tagged in such a way that the posting history is still tied to the thread yet those following along by subject using a threaded email client will be out of luck since you've hijacked the subject. If you can't remember the posting address of the list, please copy it from a message to which you are replying, cancel that message, start a brand new message, and paste the address you copied into the To field. Now you can type in your new subject since you'll be starting a new thread. Thanks so much for not hijacking threads in the future.
