Can you chaps kindly take your boring sub-thread about newsreaders etc
offline or at least retitle your subthread? I keep checking in look for
juicy details of some plumbing disaster only to find zzzzzzz zonk -

Ah well, changing the title of posts in this thread will make this appear as
a new thread in readers that just use the subject line to make the connection.

Clients using the headers will show it as a changed subject under the main
thread (assuming my client is working - it did when I compiled it 14 years
ago :-))
