Not trying to be insulting but that method is used a lot in other lists -- and not just by me. Must be some kind of extended header that is checked.
If the subject header is changed and the to header is changed what then is the difference? Outside of the off topic message why would anyone care? Its obviously a new thread with an effort at due diligence to make it a new thread.
Sorry I would view that as buggy software. If I or anyone takes a list message, clears out the subject, clears out the message and uses the same reply to address the lsitserv and/or client should view it as a new topic. I guarantee you that is how yahoo mail works as I ma on 6 or 7 different yahoo listserv groups.
Best of luck with this.

You hijacked the thread. What you did IS different from creating a new email,
you should create a new mail. There's nothing wrong with the listserv
software.
Your posting to a kde mailing list. In kde kmail is the default mail client,
and its threads show that you hijacked this thread.
have a nice day,

That is an issue for the list mods as its something in the listserv
software.
What I did is no differnt than opening up a new e-mail and entering the
information.
The other email you alluided to is enclosed. I simply went to my sent
folder and clicked forward. I didn't think it was off topic at the time
since I hit this list by a cygwin page. My apologies for it being off
topic however as you can see in the forwarding there is nothing to
indicate its hijacking a thread or should be going to you.
The second forwarding shows the same thing.
So the question is how or why do you think I am hijacking your e0-mail
threads? What evidence do you have for that?
If you have valid evidence of that then the list mods need to know so they
can fix the software. Otherwise the drama needs to end.
Hope this helps

Why are you hijacking a thread about delaying kwin checking for special
window settings? Your post has nothing at all to do with that. This is
the second thread you've hijacked, replying to an existing thread and
simply changing the subject, and in this case, it was my post you chose to
reply to. But your reply has nothing to do with my post! Why are you
then replying to me instead of starting a new thread?
(I'm not actually mad, just asking you to stop it as it's quite
irritating, and copying your "OK, I give" was an interesting way to make
the point. See below for an explanation.)
On a decent threading client, changing the subject header does not change
the thread, as such a client threads by the "In-reply-to:" header in mail,
and using the references header in news. Changing the subject does not
change that header, so it's still a reply, no matter what the subject
says. To start a new thread, please use the new message function, not the
reply function, in your client.
But to reply to your question, unfortunately, I don't think a lot of
people do what you're doing with cygwin and kde (or cygwin and the ftp
client, at least on this list, as that post was off topic for the list, as
well). If I had an answer, I'd give it to you, but I don't do
proprietaryware (see the sig) including MS platforms, so cygwin isn't
something I use. Which is why I ignored the first post. But this one was
a reply to me, thus giving me a direct reason to reply back, asking you to
stop the thread hijacks, even if I know nothing about the question you're
asking and would otherwise avoid a thread on the subject -- but this
thread wasn't /about/ cygwin, it was about kwin and special window
settings!
