  Here's (some of) the headers from your first post with the current subject
line:

  The 'references' header shows that rather than starting a new mail and
entering the address of the ML in the To: field, you took the shortcut of
opening a mail you'd just received, hitting Reply, and replacing the subject
and contents with a new one.  The mail you replied to is this one from the
scp thread:

http://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2004-01/msg01171.html

  Although some mailers, notably M$ ones, display the threading of posts
based purely on the Subject: header, others respect the References: header
and therefore place your post in the same thread as the one you were
replying to, even though you changed the subject.

  Using reply rather than starting a fresh mail is a natural enough way to
save yourself a bit of typing, but there's a bit of hidden persistent state
in there that not everyone knows about!



    cheers,
