Hi,
Seeing how e.g. the thread "Patch 3339 Out" became somewhat overlong and
parted into several subthreads, some totally unrelated to the parent, I
just wanted to remind you that when you want to start a new subject you
shouldn't just hit "Reply" to a randomly selected message and change the
topic since the 'In-Reply-To:' and 'References:' headers will remain and
the "new" message will show up as a reply to this orignally selected one
in the threaded view (usually used for mailinglists) which decent
emailreaders support.
So for new topics please compose a new message to increase the
readibility of this list, even though that involes manually typing the
listaddress/getting it out of the addressbook.
Thanks
-Thomas, nitpicking
