Threading does not depend on the subject text. For example, in this list's threaded archives, when I changed the subject line from "Ancestery" to "Ancest*ry" it did NOT break the thread. <http://archiver.rootsweb.ancestry.com/th/index/Listowners/2012-07?m=t&n=y&d=y&s=Redisplay> Darrell

I though this topic was closed. But any how, since I started it, I will comment once. I was using MY cell phone and FWD some one else's message, I DID not notice the misspelled word. I did change it later in the sub line. How ever since a few want to be picky, some one could look back in their own messages and find item they them selves misspelled. As for Ancestry, selling or not is moot but I thought since its a rumor they are trying to sell OUR HOME, the rest of us might like to know. Now, if I wanted to be a literary and spell perfectly I would take more time. As I see it, LO is like a club of people with similar interests and could be polite to each other. My thoughts were * dumb me * when I noticed the Ancestry was spelled wrong and it was to late, I usually dont post a lot here. But once in a while, I like to be a part of the whole since this is about the only active list I am on any more. Sure nothing on the groups, seems like most moved to the message boards. As for OE - I know many people dont like it, that is fine, I dont like Outlook, thunderbird or Eudora and others, I dont like mail washer and other like prgs, I use gmail not saying I like it or the new policy, but it saves time by filtering spam, I was a beta tester 3 times with MS when they changed internet mail to Outlook and OE, I have a couple 2000 page reference books on OE, there are settings in Internet explorer that control OE and O that stop a lot of what people complain about, I have messages date back to 1998 on here, never had a virus, never lost a message or a message store location. I have several filters that work very well and file those topics in the designated folders where I can check whats going on it a sec. Never had a problem, I also do not get popups and I do not use a pop up blocker, I use a script setting. For those with regular ISP and OE as a possible use, you can use it once its set up right, as for those who just want email with out studying or hassle I would not recommend OE, so it is very fine each to their own. We all get used to how we want our PC to work, its fine, its just part of understanding the whole of a group, every one is different. I respect difference. I dont go hammering on folks because they like this or dont like that. Just understand that and why I like what I do, I made it my comfort zone, it works for me. Dont work for others and I am not running win 7 like some and OE was supposed to be an advanced OE. Some say its to hard to use. I dont know. But I do know, I am sticking with XP as my last upgrade. When it stops working, I stop. My wife is laughing, she thinks I am hooked and will get a new pc with a new oS. Well LO folks, I am just a cool nice guy with a lot of humor and outgoing personality who just likes sharing, on that note, I am outta here, but remember - I dont heckle and laugh at others errors.
