Hello,

When you want to start a new thread, please create a new mail, instead of replying to a another message and changing the subject. The latter method messes up automatic threading in most email clients, because there are other email headers apart from the subject which indicate to which thread an email belongs (and this header is wrong if you reply).

Thanks,

Jonas

I assume that is directed at me. :) My apologies. I was attempting to respond to "Interesting namespace question", but I was not a member of the list yet, so I attempted to duplicate the subject. I should have known better.

By the way is NNTP forbidden? I would much rather use NNTP over a mailing list.

IIRC, these lists are mirrored in gmane, so perhaps you can use gmane ? Have the mailing list subscription, but configure it to not send email.
