With your message open, I hit the Reply button in the top Menu bar. Because I have Mail Preferences in the Composing tab set to Quote the text of the original message, I trimmed your content to what you see above. The Subject line automatically carries forth the Re: statement which ensures that the e-list recognizes my message as part of the original thread. Al Poulin
