Since you guys now have hijacked the thread it is ok for me to continue
On my second try to address a related issue I "forwarded" to the list
the previous text as part of a reference with a new subject. As I use a
non-html editor, txt comes in and txt comes out, I forget that the
headers are hidden, but never thought they were included in forward,
only in replies. It is good to know that mozilla in providing with a
clean email gui does such things.
Also if you use reply instead of reply-all or reply-list the headers
that are picked up "by the list" are threading the messages. So it is
partly the list-laundering activity that creates all the confusion.
I'm willing to bet that in interpersonal exchange some of those messages
wouldn't be threaded. But I've seen it happen both ways, Re:
same-subject unthreaded and Re: different-subject threaded. So it must
have to do with some mailing systems stripping headers and some that
don't do it, and effective stripping goes two ways.
Come to think of it, do newsgroups still exist?
