Obviously!! This is the first time, to my knowledge, that it has let me down,
but one could say once is too often. :-(
I wonder which email client Ralf is using, since he too thought that Fred was
the OP? I haven't looked at Gnus. Perhaps I should?
Gmail doesn't even know what a thread is. It goes purely by subject.
And yes, hijacking a thread can be very disadvantageous to the hijacker and
very confusing for everybody else.
Sorry, Chris.
