by changing the Subject line, and not retaining the reply-to context in the mailheaders, you end up creating a new thread each time. so can you not do that please ?
Hmm - I did that on purpose because (I thought) I had been soundly thrashed in prior efforts for not doing that.
So, to clarify: when an issue is solved, modify the subject: line so to indicate and do NOT start a new thread?
Foo - I thought I had it right this time....
I, for one, dont think its worth wasting time with the SOLVED word in the subject lines. noone searches through achieves with the word 'SOLVED' in there.
I did that, a few days ago, but if it starts a new thread, I'll try to remember not to do that.
But, whatever people do - thread sanity is way more important than changing subject lines. people looking for info on a topic almost always follow threads.
Amen. Another thing I learned about, after someone on the list explained that it was happening, is that when using Gmail on the web, it apparently defaults to sending HTML, which *never* is something I want to do. I try to remember to click on "Rich Formatting" and then "Plain Text", to be sure that I am sending Text and not HTML.
