Michael,
The Listserve adds the prefix "RE:" to the subject line of every reply to
an original posting.  However, the Listserve ignores the "RE:" when
indexing the subject titles and keeps the replies with the original
posting; just check the archives and you'll see.

It may well be that, as Bob Stevens states, your Gmail settings do not
ignore the "RE:", thus treating the replies as a separate thread.  While I
utilize a Gmail account, I do not receive individual e-mails from the List,
preferring digest mode, so this has never been an issue.

What does interrupt a thread, is changing the subject line as Bob did in
his reply, which is now in the archives as a single, stand-alone message,
not linked to your original question.
