[Elecraft] Pressing Reply and changing the Subject may cause your message to get overlooked

[Leigh L. Klotz, Jr WA5ZNU]

If you press Reply in your mail reader and then change the subject, for 
example, from "Great Propagation on 6 Meters" to "For Sale XV50", your 
message still has a secret "In-reply-to" field in it referring to the 
original message you replied to.

Some mail mail readers use this "In-reply-to" header to place your 
message back in its place in the original topic list, as a reply, even 
though you changed the subject.  Readers who might otherwise be 
interested in your new "For Sale" topic won't see it, because it will 
show up in the middle of the list of "Great Propagation" messages, were 
it is likely to get overlooked

This "threaded" display feature is present both in mail reading programs 
such as GMail and Thunderbird, and in web site archives such as Nabble.

So, in order to maximize the number of people who will see your messages 
on *new* subjects, please start out with "Compose" or "New Message" 
instead of "Reply."

This is a personal request from me, and isn't endorsed by Elecraft.

Thank you,
