To me that makes no difference. Actually, I like the second form > better. you must either not thread your e-mails properly, or your monitor is insanely wide and/or you use insanely small fonts. as soon as you hit 10+ depth on threads, subjects easily start getting truncated in the display. seeing a few to no characters in the e-mail reader for a subject is a pita. if it's all the same thread, that's one thing as the subject doesnt really change, but in this case they arent. sane example: http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.boot-loaders.u-boot/66481 insane example: http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.boot-loaders.u-boot/66597 -mike -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...
