I agree wholeheartedly. People use to start new threads by replying to
an existing message and change the subject. Since not all mail software
is dumb these days, from time to time references are kept according to
the rfc, and identity of subject means not identity of thread.

Putting ib-support@yahoogroups.com in the Address Book and using the
"New Message" function of the mail reader would cure most of the
problems, I believe.

Another thing that I have noticed is that messages posted by particular
members tend to attach to the first article in the thread and not the
last. Lately I have seen this behaviour in threads with posts from Helen
B. and David K. T. but I can't say where the problem is (it could well
be my mailreader!)

Do you think there are other prblems (incorrectly formed replies aside)?

Same here.
