Is this your default sig? I did start a new thread, I thought, hence the
No, I wrote it specifically responding to your mail ;)
thread name kaudiocreator problems, or since I first hit reply to get a window up, even though I changed both the To and Subject, did it still link to whatever thread I replied to originally?
Yes, it was still linked, at least here.
You are using kmail, try to go to your original mail and select menu "View" -> Header -> All Headers and look out for those two headers: |In-reply-to: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> |References: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> \ |<[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
Many programs rely on these headers to build the threading, so when starting a new topic always better start off with a new mail and no reply. The Debian mail archive was able to get it right, though: http://lists.debian.org/debian-user/2003/debian-user-200312/threads.html#00130 but I still think it's better to get it right on the sender's side than to let the ~1900 recievers handle it...
