  James,
  
  It does state at the top of the message, "in reply to" (see above). The subject of each message is totally under the control of the Member posting the message. The subject of the message can and does change as the message thread develops.

    Craig,
    
    
    All I was suggesting is that this is hard to read:
    
    
    23-May-2003, 11:20pm Can anybody help? [Waxstats?] - Laurence Cochrane
    23-May-2003, 11:04pm number plates - Dean Whitehead
    23-May-2003, 9:16pm Can anybody help? (part deaux) - Chris Wilson
    23-May-2003, 2:57pm Battery - Graham Reeks
    23-May-2003, 2:09pm Can anybody help? (part deaux) - Ben Duckett
    23-May-2003, 1:21pm Can anybody help? (part deaux) - Nigel Gibbins
    
    
    It would be better like this:

    That was all...

      Why?

        Why does all email put a RE: at the start of the subject for any message you reply to... ?
        
        If someone changes the subject then so be it... but most people just leave it as it is... which leads to loads of messages with the subjects the same... unless the standard view is of the "List All Messages" type it just looks confusing... thats all...
        
        I'm not going to argue this... I just thought it made sense... as the board is called "Suggestions"... thats exactly what it is...
