Minh posted the subject "Sage 4.3.4.rc0 released" a perfectly logical subject.

Loads of people have replied so the subject becomes "Re: Sage 4.3.4.rc0 released". They report success/failure on various systems. So far there is only half a dozen, but in time there will probably be 20 or more of those.

Instead I started a new subject "Sage 4.3.4.rc0 builds ok on Solaris 10 (SPARC)" which personally I think is more informative than loads of responses to Ming's post. Just by looking at the subject, you can immediately see what system this was on, and whether it was a success or a failure.

So what do people think is best - reply directly to Minh's post, or start a new subject as I did?

Reply directly to Minh, possibly with an amended subject. Threading is great, why break it? (Caveat that subject changes do not break threading in modern email readers.)
