Yes, Matt R seems to have used 'reply' to start a new thread (thereby
adding an in-reply-to header).  I suspect he doesn't have a mailer which
displays threads and so doesn't realise that it confuses things,
especially when you're trying to find an old posting.

On the subject of the list, has anyone had any luck trying to change
their email address for this list recently?  I just got various error
messages from listserv.ksu.edu.
