[time-nuts] List Threading Behavior?

[jim s]

If one is using thunderbird as below, it is just as easy to right click 
the time nuts address element at the top of the message and reply do a 
"compose message"

If using web based email, the reply-to and change the subject is 
probably the easiest since there is no way to do the above action.  It 
is interesting that the examples below are from thunderbird.
