RE: [Nolug] email netiquette

Hi Joey.

If someone hits reply, but changes the subject, does that cause a problem?

Subject: [Nolug] email netiquette
Importance: High

I hate having to complain, but my mail client threads email based on subject,
and it looks at the mail headers in order to do this. When someone hits
"reply" to some randon email and changes the subject, my client thinks the
new email is actually part of the old thread and files the new mail
underneath whatever old message the poster clicked on when he started his new
message. It that's you, please, please, please consider starting a new
message from scratch (i.e., hit the "new" or "compose" button) instead of
hitting reply to an existing message. Trust me, others besides me will thank
you for being considerate.

Thanks, and again please forgive me for having to post this.
