I am really sorry for the trouble. I did not know my email client (Thunderbird) was that "intelligent"! I was not sure whether the list e-mail address was present in my address book and hence I took the easy way out of responding to a list message with modifying the subject line. I was not aware of the underlying "thread-awareness". I'll not repeat it next time. Thanks for pointing out. Regards, Suman Chakrabarty.
