[time-nuts] List Threading Behavior?

[Ziggy]

The other way that threads get broken is by thread 'hijacking'. If I 
were to hit reply to any message on this thread, change the subject and 
delete the body, I could write a 'new' message. Threaded clients would 
see that new message as part of the existing thread, but others would 
simply see a new message with a new subject. It's  bad form to use 
'reply' and change the subject. If you're going to change the subject, 
start with a new and blank message.
