This is a plea to all mailing list users, especially people using gmail.

PLEASE, if you are starting a new thread (a new topic for discussion),
can you start a new email/message, rather than just hitting reply to an
existing message and changing the topic. If you reply to an existing
topic, email clients will assume that it is continuing the discussion
(when it actually isn't).

This means that people may miss your message because they aren't
particularly interested in the thread you hit reply to, so they aren't
reading all replies. Using threaded mode to display emails, in clients
such as Thunderbird, means that new discussion topics do not actually
show up as new discussion topics, which is inconvenient.

Thanks,
Chris
