Please folks, if you want to start a new thread, don't do so by replying to a random message and deleting the previous subject and contents. When you do this, the message still contains headers referencing which messages it is a child of, and those of us with proper threading mail/news clients see the mutant message in an existing thread on a totally different topic.
There has been a real rash of this in the past couple of days.

I can be rather lazy at adding addresses to my address book too! :-) I'm receiving these lists in Opera 7, which automatically creates "access- points" for them, which solves the problem of getting the right "to" address, but when I hit compose it often chooses the wrong "from" address :-/
