No problem.  The threading here provides the link-up just fine.   
Good ol' MSGID/REPLYID.

I was wondering *why* in general you always seemed to quote a  
majority of the message you were replying to.

Maybe you could utilize the MSGID of the message you are replying  
to and prefix your replies with something like:

  In response to MSGID "7644.asian_li@1:275/100 245b9dfe"...

Well.. I am glad you spoke up about it in the echo, 'cuz that  
"voice from the moderator directly" seemed to be the key for a  
couple of people.

Take a look at the wording of the elist for a couple of the echos  
that I moderate. Maybe "channels" could be another word that  
might be employed?

It also reminds me of the times when messages were moved over ham  
radio.
