[Stoves] About threads and Subjects of messages

[psanders at ilstu.edu]

Andrew and all,

I will reveal more of my ignorance by saying that I only know about the
"Subject" line.  I thought that is what was followed as the "thread".  My
computer allowed me to "show all headers" and what I saw was not something I
could interpret as headers or threads or subjects of the current or previous
messages.

So many questions about what to do.  One question:  If I change the 
Subject line
in any way, does that break the thread?
