When you hit "Reply" to an existing post, your mailer adds "In-Reply-To:" and/or "References:" headers to your reply, so that other mailers can display the replies in a threaded display. If you are in the habit of replying to an existing post to save typing the list address into the "From:" line, all your posts really will be indexed and displayed as replies to the posts you reply to. Changing the subject line doesn't help. So for example your initial post wasn't exactly easy to spot, being as it was tagged on the end of a thread that had been dead for a month: http://img191.imageshack.us/img191/9559/jerrypost1.png Likewise, where you say above "I am moving to this thread now", you have in fact done nothing of the sort: http://img8.imageshack.us/img8/4305/jerrypost2.png If you want to save some typing, you need to use your mailer's address book or autocompletion features. Not randomly replying to existing posts. cheers, DaveK -- Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/ Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple
