Ken,

I use Netscapes Messenger for emails for other filing reasons, but have the
same
problems as probably all of us will. The only way I can see this working for
everyone is if it was performed on the server side where the posters name is
embedded into the end of the subject, however, the problem with that becomes an
issue of dissimilar thread subjects. I can't think of a good way to do this
that
won't screw something up, but it is definately worth thinking about.
