But, there are TWO problems with this...first the obvious is that the
subject line is very misleading...and SECOND, when you reply to a thread
instead of opening a brand new email and starting a new thread, the archives
and digest are all out of whack....even if you DO change the subject line,
the mail itself is still attached to that thread in it's ACTUAL header so it
shows up in the wrong place in the archives and in the digest version of
this list...people always complain that the digest is confusing or the
archives are not ordered properly and THIS is the reason why

So...when you are starting a new thread, add mso@xxxxxxxxxxxxx to your
address book so it's easy....open  a new blank mail, type ms and the full
address should appear (as long as you've typed it once before)...then type
in your subject line and question....I really don't think that's so much to
ask in order for this group to have well-organized archives of all the
valuable info that's shared here.

Thanks...I'll get off my soapbox now

You are right. It is so easy to hit reply and have the TO: field filled in
