&gt; &gt;   I intended to change the Subject heading of my last e-mail. My<br>
&gt; &gt; apologies.<br>
&gt; &gt;<br>
&gt; &gt; James.<br>
&gt;<br>
&gt; On older programs the subject line was used to create threads, but<br>
&gt; then they added a line into the header of the email instead. Now it<br>
&gt; does not matter what you have in the subject line, it will follow a<br>
&gt; line in the header to determine how it&#39;s threaded.<br>
&gt;<br>
&gt; That means if you have an old program you can start a new thread by<br>
&gt; simply replying to any email in the list. These days you have to use<br>
&gt; New email rather than Reply to. Or, what really is your new thread<br>
&gt; will actually continue inside someones thread, making a mess for<br>
&gt; every one with a decently new email program.<br>
&gt;<br>
<br>
On my two recent mail clients, Kmail and now Claws-Mail,<br>
I just have to click on the address line to start a new thread.<br>
For example I can view any post in my Quanta folder, click on the<br>
line:<br>
