Set,

Neither do I. I was more inclined to think the culprit must be a
software item rather that a person. :-)

BTW, your post misses the References header too (and so appears tied to
the first message in the thread, but it could well hang from anywhere
else, without references), and you seem to use the same mailer as Helen.
You did not post this message from the newsgroup mirror, did you? If so,
perhaps we have found who is cutting out the References. I have seen
that Yahoo's Web Interface does this as well.

This is because the references are kept. In this case, people behave
wrong (attach to an existing thread and start a new topic) and the
server behaves right (keeps the references among all messages as they
are posted, regardless of the subject).

I am used to confusion, I've gone the object oriented way quite a few
years ago. ;-)

I agree completely (even though it's only part of my/our problem).
