Couldn't see how to change 0 to 1 without a self-email so
did that.

Caused by differences in line-length or the CR/LF thing? Loss
of all but the first >s ocasionally happens here. My 5space
inset newpara was to replace tabs and reduce scrolling. Didn't
know it was a sin, shall incur blackarrow no more.

This may be a daft misunderstanding: one email in the thread
was From: sender at ownadr, not senderviaVAlist, so just for
this thread I used Compose instead of Reply, thinking that
Subject: Re: [Virtualacorn-list] Multiple recipients would
continue the thread -- forgetting that Pluto etc handle
threading by electronic tag.

Yes, back to the Reply button used on all other threads.
No: seems the "Reply all" button's needed here.
