Hi Colin,

There's another reason you shouldn't "Reply & Change Everything".

In the header of a "reply" is an In-Reply-To line (take a look at any
replay and you'll see it). This header line is how an email program
knows how to "thread" messages.

If you "Reply" and then start a new thread, a lot of email programs will
think your message is still part of the old thread and, if the user is
threading the messages, your message will end up in the old thread where
it might not be seen.

Better ideas: Either put SCOUG-Help in your address book, or press
Reply, copy the Mail-To email address, then delete the message and start
a new message with the pasted email address.
