So? Still, it was not a reply neither to your message, nor to any other one that was posted in reply to your own. One hour is little: he might well have written his reply and sent it out before your email arrived in his mailbox or before he read it. >> As you can see, there is not your email's Message-ID, which means >> Steve did not reply to your message or to any message that was >> replyed to yours.

Nowhere does any netiquette state that.

The context and content of the email might warrant this behaviour. If you spotted a case in which you think it does not, please write a personal email to the party involved advising him about the correct way to reply an email in a mailing-list. Myself I am going to entertain any further discussion on this matter only in private.
