Update on what I said, pre-caffination and before I had Outlook in front of me.
>From what I can tell, there's *no* way to change the "In-Reply-To:" header. You can change the reply-to address (who a reply goes back to) away from the default value by using the VIEW --> OPTIONS --> window. But I can't find anything that would let you change the original message thread subject - in order to put a new one in and start a thread. MS doesn't expect users to be that smart, I suppose. *shrug* > -----Original Message----- > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of Richard Burkhart > Sent: Thursday, October 09, 2003 9:21 AM > To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Subject: Re: [vox-tech] bash question - how to read specifed amnt of > datafrom a file > > > It's "easier" for the same reason as it's easier in other clients -- you > hit r)eply and you've got a message with the vox-tech address all nice > and ready--just need to clear out the previous contents.
