hi guys,
Just a quick note about adding [SOLVED] tags to the Subject lines on email lists : Dont do it, it does not help and makes no difference to the content - yet, it breaks threading of responses.
Unline web forums, email clients will try and thread using the Subject and in-reply-to headers to retain thread sanity. So dont please dont break that, its quite a key part of the whole mailing lists experience for everyone.
Is that why it's frowned upon to use a current thread to start a new one? Like doing a 'reply to' and then changing the subject line?
Kind Regards,
Keith Roberts
