Interesting. My old newsreader (News Xpress 2.01) had no trouble
threading correctly, even with that deletion of yours. I wonder if
there's some defined protocol concerning [xxx] at the start of a
Subject line that at least some newsreaders acknowledge?

With all due respect, Richard, that is just plain silly. What about
the 28% that were happy with them? I really find it hard to
understand that the majority would suffer in some way just because
something mentioned in the docs didn't have any value for them.
Or were you worried some may go blind if they happen to see them? ;-)
