  BTW, one tradition we have on this list is please don't quote people's email
addresses in the body of your email.  See

  I'm afraid that's incorrect.  If you hit "reply" to any post in your
mailer, the email you send will have "In-Reply-To:" and "References:"
headers that make it part of the existing thread.  Some mailers attempt to
infer threading based on "Subject:" header if those headers are missing,
but it's not the standard way things work anywhere.

  To start a new thread, you have to choose the "New post" option, whatever it
is for your mailer - use the address book facility if you want to save
yourself having to type the "To:" address.


   cheers,
