Dale,
Thanks for following up. HOw do you start a new thread?
It is slightly annoying when you change a setting and reverts back to the original; the
whole (computer) system should be more user friendly. Either way, it is good that there
is an "easy" fix, which I will do.
I will have much more complex issues to discuss shortly.
Thanks.

Hi,
well there might be more than one way but usually I move my mouse to the
"new email" option in thunderbird. Then I write
gentoo-user@lists.gentoo.org in the field "to". So I am set.
The difference is: when you use answer and just change the subject
field, it still is shown as answer to the other email. If you ever tried
to find something with google from a mailing list you pretty fast start
to hat those guys.
Also keep in mind, that the subject field should be a little more
catchy. Things like "help", "bug", "to all veterans" ... will likely
lead to very few readers.
Also most people on this list (I hope this won't start a discussion
again) don't like top posting.
Regards
