Good idea. But changing the subject isn't starting a new thread. Email software puts a Message-ID: field in the mail header lines that some mail clients don't show you, which along with References: & In-Reply-To: provide tracking information for threads Your Email had the line: In-Reply-To: <40EC5875.2020406@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx> in the header which means that a threaded email client will still treat it as part of the same thread. to start a new thread you really have to start a new message without using reply.

But, depending on the newbie definition, I'd suggest the target audience includes both newbies and other novices... - -- | --- ___ | <0> <-> Joe (theWordy) Philbrook | ^ J(tWdy)P | ~\___/~ <<jtwdyp@xxxxxxxx>> ############################################################## # You can find my public gpg key at http://pgpkeys.mit.edu/ # ############################################################## -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.4 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQFA7W/yRZ/61mwhY94RAkrlAJ9f7yDdty+nb1NOL3XX9rxKwIoDVgCeNCf5 dCdRuH3U50cmxuWgProgCE0= =wCGC -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
