You know your message will not appear in Outlook Express which most people
use because you chose a common subject that is "outlook express" and
outlook express displays messages according to there subjects. Now your
message is in very old thread. I saw this because I was resetting the list
and this message got downloaded but the older one not.

Two points here:

1. Outlook Express, like most newsreaders and E-Mail clients, will display
messages in any of several orders. *You* may choose to view them in Subject
order, but not everyone does. You can set the order you want by clicking on
the header of that column. Click the header a second time to reverse the
sort order, from ascending to descending, or vice-versa.

2, If you choose View | Current View, and check Group Messages by
Conversation, all messages in a thread will be displayed together and kept
separate from other threads.That separation of threads is true even if two
threads have the same Subject.name.

True, the subject "Outlook Express" is not very descriptive of his question,
and a more specific subject would have been better.

You've already answered benadem's question, but I just wanted to add that
the technique is not specific to Outlook Express; he can make *any* program
(or several programs) start automatically by putting shortcuts to them in
the startup folder.
 
I was saying that OE arranges messages according to Subjects/Headers that
means if two completely different threads have the same subjects/headers,
OE will display them in one thread. The new message with the same subject
as the older message will be displayed in older one. That applies only if
"Group messages..." is checked.

Yes, I understood what you were saying. But what I was trying to point out
is that the statement above is not true. It is *not* the subject line that
ties the messages together in the same thread. If you start a message with
the subject line "ABC," and I reply to it, my reply is in the same thread.
But if someone else subsequently comes along and posts a message with the
subject line "ABC," not a reply to any of the messages in the first thread,
Outlook Express treats it as a completely different thread.

Not true, i already tested this in test group. I started a thread with a
subject XXX then started two new threads "Re: XXX" and "XXX". After that,
when i look them in OE, they all are in one thread but Web-Based displays
them fine (that means 3 threads).

It *is* true. As a matter of fact, if you have enough old messages on your
machine, you can see this with the subject of this very thread: outlook
express. I have three separate threads showing here, all with this subject,
one started on 10/25 by lizz, one started on 10/29 by digimom, and one
started on 10/31 by benadem.
