Can I also gently remind everybody that it is a bad practice to use your
mailbox as an address book? If you try to locate an old message from
somebody in your mailbox and do a `reply' instead of composing a new
message, your message gets tagged as a response to an old message, possibly
a huge thread, and your recipients will fail to notice it.
Notice how Terry's message is buried deep inside a thread started on Aug 5
on Google Groups:

In due course, I intend to add some functions to VM to make this convenient.
Detaching such burried messages in existing threads is a much harder
problem. But I have been thinking about it too.
Cheers,
Uday
