[Air-l] Please send a new message when starting a new topic

[Frank Schaap]

A request for the list members:

Please send a new message when starting a new topic, don't reply to an old 
message and change the subject. When starting a new topic, please use the 
"new message" function of your e-mail program.

Some of us use e-mail readers that sort the mail by thread. When you reply 
to an old message and change the subject, chances are that your e-mail 
reader will still insert an "In-Reply-To:" line in the header, and your 
message ends up in the wrong thread, or, if you happen to reply to a rather 
old message, it ends up being sorted into a thread that's no longer the 
e-mail reader's current messages window.

You can see what the problem is here:

or if you don't want to open your browser, here's an ascii version:


+ message title
| + re: message title
| |-+ re: re: message title
|
|-+ re: message title
   |-+ re: message title
     |-+ re: message title
       |-+ Suddenly a new topic appears here!


Thanks!

Frank.
