Intriguing: this message also appeared in the 5/8/2005 thread, even though I
din not reply to any of the messages in that thread, but posted a new

So it's not just one's own old subjects that one can't reuse without
confusing Outlook Express into placing the message in the old thread, any
message with the same subject that was used by someone else before may
appear grouped with the old thread.

That's so weird!

Yeah, I use Netscape to read the newsgroups and it does the same thing.
I sometimes have a message show up that seems to be a reply to a really
old post but it usually turns out to be a new thread that joined in with
an old one. I have my news reader set to keep messages for a month and
then they are dumped. After that time, it would show up as a new thread,
of course.

I don't seem to have thew problem with Forte's Free Agent - a
dedicated news client, rather than a "do everything" application.
