And still "OT", but one reply to this will end the thread:

So if I understand the rules:
1: A new topic should be started as a new message, and not taking an old=20
message (either that was a new thread or a "RE"), change the subject and=20
body of the message.
2: I thought the PICLIST needed "Re:" as the first 3 characters of the=20
subject line. Is this true, or just start with "[PIC]", etc.
3: If "Re:" is not the first of the subject line when starting a reply,=20
the mail software will add the "Re:", no action required. At least=20
that's what Thunderbird appears to do.
4: And if it a reply, try hard to make it a reply, and not start new and=20
make it look like it is a reply.

Thanks again. for clarifying. :)
