(Just to take this further; you good argue that the mail clients is

No, I'd disagree with this.
If the topic starts off as "ALSA Mixer problems" and then the
discussion branches off to "Volume control applets for the system
tray" then the messages should still be threaded correctly. This is
impossible without threading on the "In-Reply-To:" and "References:"
headers, and is indistinguishable from your habit. I say this not to
denigrate your (former) habit, just to state the fact.
I guess most of us choose the reply-button, cause it' easier than
having to look-up the email address.
My email client allows me to right-click on a recipient of an
existing message and choose "new message", creating an empty message
that does not hijack the thread. Alternatively I can make a new
message and start typing "gentoo" and an autocomplete option of
"gentoo-user@lists.gentoo.org" will be provided.
Either of these methods is, IMO, less hassle than highlighting and
deleting a lot of text.
Stroller.
