starting kde in cygwin 1.7

Fri Jun 18 03:46:00 BST 2010

very simple...

Its starting a new thread. 

if the subject is changed and the content is deleted then why would it be hijacking a thread?

That is an issue for the list mods as its something in the listserv software. 

What I did is no differnt than opening up a new e-mail and entering the information.

The other email you alluided to is enclosed. I simply went to my sent folder and clicked forward. I didn't think it was off topic at the time since I hit this list by a cygwin page. My apologies for it being off topic however as you can see in the forwarding there is nothing to indicate its hijacking a thread or should be going to you.

The second forwarding shows the same thing.

So the question is how or why do you think I am hijacking your e0-mail threads? What evidence do you have for that?

If you have valid evidence of that then the list mods need to know so they can fix the software. Otherwise the drama needs to end.

Hope this helps

OK, I give...

Why are you hijacking a thread about delaying kwin checking for special 
window settings?  Your post has nothing at all to do with that.  This is 
the second thread you've hijacked, replying to an existing thread and 
simply changing the subject, and in this case, it was my post you chose to 
reply to.  But your reply has nothing to do with my post!  Why are you 
then replying to me instead of starting a new thread?

(I'm not actually mad, just asking you to stop it as it's quite 
irritating, and copying your "OK, I give" was an interesting way to make 
the point.  See below for an explanation.)

On a decent threading client, changing the subject header does not change 
the thread, as such a client threads by the "In-reply-to:" header in mail, 
and using the references header in news.  Changing the subject does not 
change that header, so it's still a reply, no matter what the subject 
says.  To start a new thread, please use the new message function, not the 
reply function, in your client.

But to reply to your question, unfortunately, I don't think a lot of 
people do what you're doing with cygwin and kde (or cygwin and the ftp 
client, at least on this list, as that post was off topic for the list, as 
well).  If I had an answer, I'd give it to you, but I don't do 
proprietaryware (see the sig) including MS platforms, so cygwin isn't 
something I use.  Which is why I ignored the first post.  But this one was 
a reply to me, thus giving me a direct reason to reply back, asking you to 
stop the thread hijacks, even if I know nothing about the question you're 
asking and would otherwise avoid a thread on the subject -- but this 
thread wasn't /about/ cygwin, it was about kwin and special window 
settings!
