It's not that simple. I use Eudora Pro which is one of the best readers
there is. The subject line changes constantly but the originator's address
doesn't, presuming they don't switch email addresses during the thread. All
you have to do is change or add/delete one word to make it a new thread. So
I have had to start dumping messages based on the originator's address. In
one sense it too bad because the people I'm dumping appear to people I'd
normally like to read. But it is the only tool I have to get past a
theoretical debate about as useful as the Nikon-Canon religious debates. I
am an Engineer too but the back and forth with nauseatingly repetitious
arguments is too much to bear. I could leave the group but I think there
are other threads that I would very much like to follow. I even enjoyed the
first few (dozen) posts of this thread.
I would agree wholeheartedly to a special SIG being created for those who
wish to continue this increasingly esoteric discussion.
