  Re: slrn broken?
 
(...) slrn has been complaining about the references line, showing it as having a blank line within it, and I didn't know why. The only way I could get it to post a followup sometimes was to just delete the blank line AND the partial line following. (...) (26 years ago, 10-Oct-98, to lugnet.admin.general)
 
  Re: slrn broken?
 
(...) Ok, tell me how to fix it. :) (26 years ago, 10-Oct-98, to lugnet.admin.general)

(...) Hrmmm. Well, I've been doing it this way for over a week now and everyone seems to be getting my posts, so..... If you can give me a way to fix Pico (could it have something to do with me forcing it to wrap? doesn't seem to since the (...) (26 years ago, 10-Oct-98, to lugnet.admin.general)
 
  Re: slrn broken?

Wow, this thread tree thing at the bottom is perfect! What a cool way to show where you are and let you move around. Thanks, Todd. Of course it's context free but you can't have everything. (will this show as a reply to the "slrn broken" thread or (...) (26 years ago, 11-Oct-98, to lugnet.admin.general)
 
  Re: Thread view!
 
(...) Looks like it is showing up as a new thread with lots of references. (26 years ago, 11-Oct-98, to lugnet.admin.general)
 
  Re: Thread view!

  Re: Thread view!
 
(...) Righto -- it's the same thread (per se), but it's a new subject-line or sub-thread on the main thread. Threads, strictly speaking, are purely reference-defined.
