   No problem.  The threading here provides the link-up just fine.      
   Good ol' MSGID/REPLYID.   
      
   I was wondering *why* in general you always seemed to quote a     
   majority of the message you were replying to.   
      
   Maybe you could utilize the MSGID of the message you are replying     
   to and prefix your replies with something like:   
      
     In response to MSGID "7644.asian_li@1:275/100 245b9dfe"...

   Well.. I am glad you spoke up about it in the echo, 'cuz that     
   "voice from the moderator directly" seemed to be the key for a     
   couple of people.

   Take a look at the wording of the elist for a couple of the echos     
   that I moderate. Maybe "channels" could be another word that     
   might be employed?   
      
   It also reminds me of the times when messages were moved over ham     
   radio.
