[C320-list] New Trial Post

[Scott Thompson]

Dave, if you (or someone else) use an email reader that displays 
messages as "threads" or "conversations" then the linking of emails with 
completely different subject lines is often going to show up if the new 
subject is actually a reply to an older email. The software is linking 
the emails based on identifiers in the headers that you never look at. 
Those do not get deleted when you delete the entire content and subject 
of a reply, and that is why you are seeing this behavior. I usually use 
Thunderbird and you can turn this feature on or off. (I leave it off, 
largely because of the issue you bring up.) I don't think it has 
anything to do with which email address you send the message to. The key 
is to start a new email from scratch when you want to introduce a new 
subject. That will start a new "thread" for those who are viewing emails 
in threaded mode.

If you use Thunderbird, you can select View | Sort by | Unthreaded to 
turn off threaded view. In Outlook, uncheck "Show as Conversations" in 
View | Messages. That will fix your view, but not the view seen by 
others. To do that, you need to actually start a new thread by starting 
the email from scratch.

This worked fine at the beginning.  However, for quite a while now, my new posts just get added to the line of emails associated with the post I used/replied to.
> Warren Updike suggested recently that I submit to c320-list at lists.catalina320.com when I do a new subject; whereas, if I just do "reply", it sends to C320-List at Catalina320.com (so....slightly different).  He also said to compose a completely new email and send it to the recommended email.  I didn't quite do that with my last attempt.  I hit "reply" from a recent new email post and I changed everything before sending (including using the slightly different email that Warren recommended).
