corruption

[Paul Dubuc]

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.
