What email client ("mail user agent") do you use? Your posts
consistently break threads. This is really annoying for those of us who
are used to well-bahaved clients like mutt, Gnus or claws. Even
Thunderbird does much better than this; if you don't want to invest time
right now in learning the more complex programs, please consider
Thunderbird (icedove in debian).
If you don't know what "breaking a thread" means, I'll give a hint and a
link. Hint: a thread is *not* a set of posts with the same (or similar)
Subject.
