Moments before I read this I checked for myself who had changed the subject line. It took me about five seconds to scroll up in the tree view, find the point where the subject changed, and read the name on the same line. Having just done that so easily, I can really appreciate how utterly misdirected your remark is. If it's difficult for you to check who wrote a subject line, then your problem is that you're trying to read a mailing list through a user agent that isn't up to the task. And, speaking of misquotes, the misattributed line that can be seen above ("As I previously ...") is a visible indication that you're not using one of the better Mail User Agents. Humans will always misremember things, and not bother to check because they think they remember. No technology is going to help with that until we get direct neural interfaces. Björn Persson
