Are you starting new threads by replying to messages and then
changing the subject? The References and In-Reply-To headers in
your messages suggest as much. For example, you recently started
a thread with a subject of "Question about the NAME type used in
pg_proc and pg_class". That message has the following headers:
References: <43005482.7020105@pbnet.dk> <43005CBD.5070703@archonet.com> <43006480.4000409@pbnet.dk>
<25298.1124113567@sss.pgh.pa.us>
In-Reply-To: <25298.1124113567@sss.pgh.pa.us>
These headers imply that you replied to Tom Lane's message in the
"Optimizing query" thread (message 25298.1124113567@sss.pgh.pa.us)
and then you changed the Subject header. When you do that, some
threaded displays will display your message in the thread you replied
to because those headers say that the message is part of that thread.
For example:
http://archives.postgresql.org/pgsql-general/2005-08/thrd2.php#00718
If you want to start a new thread, use your mail client's equivalent
of "New Message" instead of "Reply To". If you *are* using "New
Message" then your mail client (Thunderbird 1.0.2 on Windows, or
so it claims) appears to be broken.
