The headers in your message show you most certainly did:
In-Reply-To: <f1601547050727162131c85629@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>
References: <f160154705072619446595a27c@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>
<20050727095703.GA13418@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

Message-Id: <1122531208.12761.27.camel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>
There you go: the In-Reply-To header tells you replied to a message
with message ID f1601547050727162131c85629@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx, the
References header tells more about the other messages your message
refers to.
Also have a look at the mailing list archive which shows your question
in the "How much memory is really free" thread instead of starting a
new thread:
http://mail.nl.linux.org/kernelnewbies/2005-07/ .

You're doomed. Either get rid of the annoying disclaimer or use a webmail
service.
> Sorry for inconvenience.
You can't be bothered to start a new message, deny it when pointed out,
have a very low signal/noise ratio due to stupid disclaimers, and you
don't know how to reply properly (top posting and overquoting).
I wouldn't call this "inconvenience" anymore...
