Well, maybe "hijacking" is too strong a term or not very appropriate, but
anyway, I view my mail messages in a threaded mail reader and people who
don't use their mail reader properly screw-up the view of the threads.

What these folks seem to do is while reading a piclist message they think,
"I want to post a new message to piclist". They then hit reply, change the
subject and their message is displayed in the middle of a wholly unrelated
thread. Jinx, I'm sure you know how to use your mail reader, but look at the
image in my last message and it's pretty easy to identify two people who
don't.

Anyway, this is a peeve of mine. I just don't like reading a thread and then
having to skip around a bunch of messages just to maintain continuity while
I'm reading.

Take care.

Matthew
