I'm not sure what my mood had to do with it. I wasn't commenting
on how one uses "was" to start a new subthread (something I've
often done here), but whether a discussion of the relative merits
of (still) using the POP3 protocol vs using IMAP was a subthread
of someone's fetchmail difficulties (being discussed under a
remarkable Subject line of "command not found [SOLVED]").
I didn't see one as a continuation of the other, which was about
file permissions, missing libraries and the contents of .fetchmailrc
and /etc/default/fetchmail (in the usual sort of guessing game).
Terms such as "hijacking", "splitting", and constructions such as
Subject: Chalk, was Re: Cheese
were not my concern, nor why Gmail should be able to find an
irrelevant (IMHO) quotation.
Cheers,
David.
