Maybe you should get yourself a standards-compliant news client. I see you use ForteAgent, which is known as the worst news reader ever made in the history of mankind.

That's a claim, isn't it? That the Forte Agent newsreader is not standards-compliant and is one of the worst newsreaders ever made?

Sandman
That it's one of the worst ever made is an opinion, and that it doesn't follow standards is supported by your claim that it puts messages with new subjects as new threads.

Tony Cooper
You brag that you always supply substantiation for your claims. Please supply substantiation for this claim.

"In most newsgroups, the majority of the articles are responses to some other article. The set of articles which can be traced to one single non-reply article is called a thread. Most modern newsreaders display the articles arranged into threads and subthreads."

That does not in any way substantiate your claim. And, Forte Agent does display articles arranged into threads. Yours was a new thread.
