The Subject header is not used for threading[1], which allows that like to be altered as necessarily due to topic drift. The To is also not used for threading as a thread can migrate from list to private email to another list if needed. The headers used for threading are In-Reply-To and References. Here are those headers from your hijack message: In-Reply-To: <pan.2010.06.17.09.27.55@xxxxxxx> References: <hvc76p$r8c$1@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> <pan.2010.06.17.09.27.55@xxxxxxx> Both of these refer to the Message-ID header in other messages. Like the ones previous in the thread: Message-ID: <pan.2010.06.17.09.27.55@xxxxxxx> Message-ID: <hvc76p$r8c$1@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> > That is an issue for the list mods as its something in the listserv > software. > > What I did is no differnt than opening up a new e-mail and entering the > information. It is, because of the headers your client properly adds to your message to indicate your intent based on your actions. If you wan to start a new thread, you should use the "New Message" button/command, not the "Reply" button/command. Otherwise, you will (inadvertently?) hi-jack a thread. BTW, the list membership in general does not like TOFU <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/TOFU#Top-posting> replies. The list membership generally prefers an Interleaved style <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Posting_style#Interleaved_style> with enough of the original message trimmed <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Posting_style#Trimming_and_reformatting> to only leave the required context for your reply <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Posting_style#How_much_to_trim>. [1] Some clients, including KMail, will fall back to using the Subject header when both the In-Reply-To and References headers are missing or the messages they reference cannot be found. -- Boyd Stephen Smith Jr. ,= ,-_-. =. bss@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx ((_/)o o(\_)) ICQ: 514984 YM/AIM: DaTwinkDaddy `-'(. .)`-' http://iguanasuicide.net/ \_/
