[X4U] Re: hijacking threads

[nk]

well-said and to the point; I'm pretty sure the title of my post got 
that idea across...I use Mail.app and do use threads, and I have a pile 
of mail in threads with subject lines which are different from the 
actual, ongoing thread..

..which is what prompted me to post, yanno?

Starting a new thread also helps the poster get their new subject seen 
and noticed, too, not buried in a thread with many messages which 
some/many people might be ignoring as not interesting to them....

that's what I personally do...
