Your message is not tied to its original thread in any way. I, and many others, will NOT find it when looking for a resolution to that thread. Go back and find the message this thread really belongs to, and reply to that thread. NB: Threads are not "threaded" by the text written in the subject line. They're threaded by the message headers that say *this* message is "in-reply-to" the "message-id" of the message that it's *actually* in reply to, and a "references" header that lists the other messages in the same thread. -- [tim@bigblack ~]$ uname -ipr 2.6.23.12-52.fc7 i686 i386 Don't send private replies to my address, the mailbox is ignored.
