Re: *** ADMIN: Posting a new message with quoting in Thunderbird: Ctrl-n Alt p q

When reading a NewsGroup message in Thunderbird, the following is the easiest and quickest way I could find to start a new message thread; mimicking the Reply function, composing a message to Newsgroup: [not as an email to To:]:

Ctrl-n /* New message */
Alt /* [activate] menu bar */
p /* Options */
q /* quote */

Following those above steps, I have generated a New message addressed to the group [per Ctrl-n], with quoted text generated just like with Ctrl-r [Options->Quote, quotes the message being viewed] but without any subject which I can then create for the _new_ message. Because it is a _new message_ the Sending of that message will of course, start a new message thread. HTH

In Thunderbird you can right click in the "Normal Headers" on the
reply to address and there is an option "Compose Mail To". One more
click (and as a right button) <ed:> than "Reply", but it handles
everything. Fills in the address, allows new subject, breaks the
thread...

This has been discussed before, and neither subject-only nor message-ID-only is perfect. Personally, I don't think that
starting a new thread by making a new message is too much of a
burden.

I think it's silly that we have to do it, is all. All of this technology, and you can't do a reply-to and change the subject.
Maybe it's not "too much" of a burden, but there's no reason it
should be a burden at all.
