A new thread would require a new and not modified subject, new content with out references to another article in order to continue an argument and no references in the headers. The last would be hijacking an old thread since some folks might have marked it and there newsclients might highlight it for them thus giving the articles undue exposure....
It seems as though there are as many ideas of what makes a thread as there are people.
Not at all. It's a standard that news clients use, and the function of the headers. See my post with examples from six clients that does it the right way.
Does Agent do it any differently?
According to you, it does.
What an idiot!
Indeed you are.Eric StevensSandman
It's YOU that says Agent does it differently.
No it isn't. Tony claimed that changing the subjectes *creates* a new thread. I said it doesn't, you said Forte Agent *displays* it as a new thread, I called that non-standard, and substantiated how all other news clients does it.
I.e. you said that Agent does it differently than all other news clients, only you thought it was the "normal" way to do it at the time, presumably.

In the end I guess it depends upon how each person, personally, wants to file the articles they receive. I'm not going to ram any particular definition down anyone's throat.
Haha, good one, Eric. I take it that you've finally is starting to realize that Agent may not actually be doing it right.
Agent can do it several different ways. I have set it up to manage threading in a manner which is useful to people following the thread. For some reason that doesn't seem to interest you.
Of course not. Agent doesn't interest me in the slightest. I am talking about the function of a header, which denotes whether or not a post is part of a sequence of posts preceeding it or not.Hint: It's not the subject header.Eric Stevens
Changing the subject, are you?
Nope.
