they ignore the references headers altogether, and just thread on

some newsreaders)


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 zzzzzzzzonk
- head slumps onto keyboard



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 :-))


Still nicely threaded here...

(let's hope Tim has nodded off by now ;-)



Pan is reading it as continuously threaded too. We can't all be
wrong. ;-)
'gnight Tim...
:-D
