Often I "collapse threads" (it is called like that in Sylpheed's menu) which means, I don't see messages which were sent with a modified subject line as a reply to an existing thread. Only when I go through all new messages in a mail folder with the "Next" button/key, I see them. But hijacked thread are due to mail clients hiding technical details from the user, whereas badly formatted messages are just plain rude. Complete quotes, top posts and badly formatted messages are worse. Especially when it doesn't become clear which part of a message the quote is and which the reply. Or when a top reply refers to minor bits of a large quote at the bottom and one would need to read everything again to get the necessary context. This is beyond everyone's time, I guess, except if someone follows only a very small portion of the list traffic. - --
