[kdepim-users] Thread & Replyto conflicts

[Art Alexion]

One downside for people who use 'reply' as an addressing tool is that  
their mails may be unintentionally ignored.

For example, I may delete an entire thread dealing with Apache because  
I don't know anything about it, and in the process delete such a  
message on a topic where I can help.
