I read my messages using a threaded view. The threads are determined based on either of the following reasons: 1) "References" header. The message I responded to references message id "<435...@tb...>", which, apparently by sheer accident, is the id of the first post of the aforementioned thread. 2) "Subject" header. You managed to change the subject, a worthy accomplishment in itself. However, you did not scrub the reference out of the message, so now your messages, as well as all the replies to them, seem to be replies to an unrelated thread. This not only affects me, but anyone reading the list archives on the web. I would appreciate if in future you would get rid of references to other messages when starting a new thread. The easiest way to do that is to *not* *reply* to messages, but write a completely new one instead. If it is a question along the lines of not being able to remember the mailing list address, I suggest you either take a look at the address book functionality of your e-mail client or familiarize yourself with the art of copy-paste (possibly using the functionality of your windowing system or even pen and paper).
