  When I posted a message with a mofified subject line (Re:  Google
error...) Google started a new thread - despite the fact my message had a
References specifically saying it was in response to, and thus in the
thread of, "Re:  GNAT question".  So Google apparently does ignore
"References", so its newsreader is broken, and the original poster's only
mistake was to use an overly general Subject line, which happened to have
also been used by a thread last March.
  My Netscape newsreader threads correctly.  OTOH, its display of
subject lines shows only about the first 30 characters, so
"query on accented character display with GNAT" would show up as
"query on accented character..", a somewhat inaccurate statement
of the question being asked.
