Some people find this intensely annoying as it makes it hard to follow the trend of a conversation, especially when multiple replies and replies to replies are all together. BTW, your message appears to be a reply to something but a) isn't threaded and b) doesn't quote anything at all, making it hard to understand the context. (Since I think you're replying to me, I do understand it, but the list is read by many people and is also archived, so having a message out of order and with no internal clue as to context means it's more likely to be ignored). When I say your message isn't threaded, I mean it doesn't include an In-Reply-To: header, which is the standard way of relating replies to the messages they reply to and allows the better sort of mail client to show the messages together in a "thread". This is probably because you used a webmail system and some of them are broken in this respect. Note that it's not enough simply to use the same Subject: line, as subjects tend to repeat a lot especially on mailing lists.
