Hi, QuickSink!
If it's not too much trouble, could you begin using the teensy-weensy "reply" or "reply/quote" buttons when you're replying to a specific message, instead of the large "reply" buttons that are at the top and bottom of message pages. The little reply buttons exist at the bottom of each message. This makes it much easier to follow threads of discussions because it causes a link to the message being replied to to be included with your own message. Thanks!
