Adrien, Geert, From the gmail web interface, I hit reply to the latest email I received from this list and changed the subject line to be what I wanted, and deleted the entire body before typing up what I wanted to say. I thought it was the subject text that directed emails into various conversations (threads). It seems to in gmail. Apparently there's some stuff in the email's headers that make the email appear to belong to another thread. Knowing this, from now on, I'll start threads using virgin emails.
Kind regards, Greg On Fri, Apr 5, 2019 at 10:20 AM Adrien Monteleone < adrien.montele...@lusfiber.net> wrote: > It threaded that way for me as well.
