Like I said, this issue is a peeve of mine and every now and then I try to bring this up so people are aware of it. If more people used a threaded mail reader it might not be a problem (does Microsoft provide a threaded view in their mail readers?). I've adjusted the settings of my mail reader, and I've achieved the best results possible. But, it doesn't deal well with someone abusing commonsense when creating a brand new thread. To recap folks: if you want to create a NEW message, please do so. Don't REPLY-TO a message and then change the subject; that's brain-dead and poor netiquette. Is it so difficult to copy-and-paste the piclist address? I swear I won't mention this issue again for atleast a year! Take care everyone!
