[oak perl] to reply or not to reply

FYI, mutt has a threaded mode.

When I compose a message to a list which is not a reply, I often do
go into my mail folder for that list, choose a message, and hit
'reply'.  But I always delete the old In-Reply-To header (upon which
most threads are based, I think) and any extraneous recipients.  And
I change the subject.  

I don't know how other mail programs work, though.  Maybe some don't
give you the option of deleting an In-Reply-To header.
