Hi Bill, I feel I should explain a little more. What you did sounds quite reasonable, except for one very small issue. What you and I don't usually see in our messages is all the Header information. If we had to plough through all that stuff, we'd spend twice as much time going through our messages. Buried in these Headers are usually two specific bit of information. "Subject" and also what is sometimes called "Thread" or sometimes "Conversation". Mailers are usually capable of sorting messages either by Subject, or by Thread/Conversation. It is when sorting by Thread/Conversation that messages where the Subject has been changed to something completely different causes problems, since the message is often totally out of context. Hope this goes some way to explain why it is always best to start a new message when it really is a new topic altogether. George. -----Original Message----- From: jaws-uk-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:jaws-uk-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Bill Teale Sent: 21 November 2006 18:36 To: jaws-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [jaws-uk] Re: slightly off topic - audio network letters to Santa Claus I'm not sure what you mean Jim, I certainly didn't mean to, smiles! I opened=20 up an e-mail from the group, and replaced everything in the e-mail with my=20 message, changing the subject etc. I thought I had cleaned everything out of=20 the old message, I'm sorry if I didn't.
