I'm guessing my issue is a combination of an unusually high incidence of 
people breaking/hijacking threads and Thunderbird getting out of kilter. As 
I mentioned, it's been reasonable for many years but the last few weeks have 
been total chaos.

For instance, in Kip's "Multicomp Microcomputer Madness!" post, I have the 
following topics included in the 'thread':

* Re:[Coco] Drivewire
* [Coco] coco 2 ram expansion connector
* [Coco] video composite on korean coco 26-3134A
* [Coco] modifying a coco 2 power supply

Also note that some of the above are also shown as orphaned threads in 
Thunderbird.

As you can imagine, it makes it very difficult to follow threads that I'm 
particularly interested in! :(

In any case, it would appear that my client is making a real mess of it so 
it looks like the problem is confined to me.

Thanks all for the feedback on this issue!

Regards,
