Changing the subject does not fix this as threading is done on the references header, it has nothing to do with the subject. I consider the 44net list to be people that "get" how email and networking works, and even here see so many replies that break threading due to using broken MUA's and generally not taking 30 seconds to ensure the email is correctly formatted. I'm on a number of other ham lists, and most are good, there is a certain subset who are willfully ignorant of proper grammar, spelling, formatting, top-posting, proper replies, etc. The ones on yahoo groups tend to be the worst for this (ex. Repeater-Builder). Some of the best how-to on posting to a list is from #10 on the qmail list guide. http://pyropus.ca/personal/writings/12-steps-to-qmail-list-bliss.html#step10 Some of this is of course not applicable to a general list, but most is. I've considered writing up a Ham list specific how-to, but I doubt it would change anything. I think it's why I'm checked in here engaging in some good passionate discussion from time to time, and then take a couple weeks off not replying at all. :) 73's -- Bryan Fields 727-409-1194 - Voice 727-214-2508 - Fax http://bryanfields.net
