corruption

[Nick Price]

Hi  thanks for the input 


I did just pick up the email address and clean out the message.



I didn't know it would add to an existing thread.



Regards

Nick

As a one time ;-), apologetic, and unintentional thread hijacker, I want to
mention that this can happen easily and unintentionally by replying to a
message (for the convenience of getting the email address of the list) and
thinking you can start a new thread simply by completely changing the
subject line.  It doesn't work that way.  Threads are maintained by the
Message-IDs in the email header, not the subject line contents.  So you must
start a new thread by composing a new message using the
nagios-users at lists.sourceforge.net
address in your address book.
