Rach,
1. Interesting & worthwhile idea, and I second it, but my guess is that it
won't be implemented (?);
2. Can Juno do "message filtering"? If it can, then you'll find that this
list looks a lot better when offensive messages simply don't appear on your
computer. That's what I've done, and then all you have to do is mass delete
all messages that make a response to the offensive messages, and you have a
nice, friendly, high quality list again;
3. I've noticed a number of people START a message thread as you have, with
"re: (something)", apparently meaning "regarding: (something)", but I think
this is slightly confusing, because most email programs use "re: (some
previous message)" to mean "a reply to: (some previous message)"; so when
you start a message as "re: (something)", it looks at first like you are
*responding* or *replying* to a previous message, suggesting there is a
previous message to *look for* in the thread, when there isn't.
