Don't shoot the messenger Dave, Alan's comment was a fair one - your
message to which he replied contained no References headers at all, and
hence was rightly treated a new post by standards compliant newsreaders.


It shows up in the same thread on both Pluto - where it was posted from -
and Thunderbird. In time of posting order.

I suspect that (like tin which I use) they allow threading by subject
as well as message ID so cope with imperfect posters.
