Personally, I consider Ed's post just find. The subject line said enough and the picture was as interesting to me as counting letters in a number word. BTW, under chrome it did show up as a new thread, and I couldn't see why the headers would suggest otherwise to other mail readers.
I'd have been grateful for a few words of explanation. In my mail client, Ed's message doesn't start a new thread. The headers include an In-Reply-To header referencing an earlier message (about something entirely different) and my mail client uses that for threading. It's debatable what a mail client should do about threading when a message has an In-Reply-To referring to another message with an entirely different subject, but threading them together is very common behaviour. So I'm largely with Joerg on this, though I'd have preferred his comments to be phrased more diplomatically. -- g
