*removes foot from mouth*

Appologies all round...

Yes, occasionally I do click reply to an old message, especially when
I'm using my remote webmail, only for the reason that I'm lazy and can't
be bothered typing in the mailing list address.  I don't see this a my
mail client groups by subject.

I still think he's a rude bastard tho and should learn some manners.

Actually, it wasn't.  He's correct in his complaint, however rude it may
have been.  It appears that you simply replied to a message and deleted
the subject and body, instead of starting a new message.  Email clients
that support threading get confused when you do this.

Here's a portion of your headers:

        From: Jamie Carl <geek at jazz-inc.net>
        To: asterisk-users at lists.digium.com
        X-Mailer:  CommuniGate Pro WebUser Interface v.4.1
        Message-ID:  <web-300489 at jazz-inc.net>
        In-Reply-To:  <20030821090311.B29962 at switchonline.com.au>
        MIME-Version:  1.0
        Content-Type:  text/plain; charset="ISO-8859-1"; format="flowed"
        Content-Transfer-Encoding:  8bit
        Subject: [Asterisk-Users] VIRUS ALERT

You see the "In-Reply-To:" header?  That says that your message is
actually a reply to the message with that Message-ID.  There's also a
References: header (not shown) that gives the Message-IDs of all
ancestors of your message.

Your mail client can use those headers to arrange the messages by
thread.  Steven obviously does this, and it annoys him when people break
his threading by not starting a new thread properly.
